Dallas Observer is a free digital and print publication based in Dallas, Texas.[3] The Observer publishes daily online coverage of local news, restaurants, music, and arts, as well as longform narrative journalism. A weekly print issue circulates every Thursday. The Observer has been owned by Voice Media Group since January 2013.

The Observer is a member of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. It has won dozens of national and regional awards for its journalism, including two first places for longtime columnist Jim Schutze in the 2017 AAN Awards.[4] In 1995, the H.L. Mencken Writing Award went to columnist Laura Miller, who went on to become the mayor of Dallas after leaving the Observer.[5] In 2007, two Observer reporters, Jesse Hyde and Megan Feldman, were named finalists in the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists.
