Observer Media is an American online media company.[1][2][3] The company was formed through several acquisitions, including acquisition of The New York Observer in 2007.[4][5][6] Observer Media is based in Lower Manhattan, New York City, and was owned by businessman Jared Kushner until 2016, when he transferred his ownership into a family trust, through which his brother-in-law Joseph Meyer took over his former role as publisher and chairman in 2017.[7][8] It currently publishes the Commercial Observer and Observer.[9][10] As of November 2016, Observer Media announced it would no longer print the New York Observer. The Observer site is a consolidation of several notable online properties, including The Gallerist, BetaBeat, NY Politicker, and PolitickerNJ.[11][12]
