The Observer, also known as the Washington County Observer serves residents in the towns and countryside of Washington County, Arkansas. Our paper was first published on February 2, 2010 and revived the name of a weekly paper that was published for 27 years before shuttering its doors in 1999. We’re locally owned and operated.
Our web site supplements the print edition with expanded photo essays, useful community links and bloggers.
At the Observer, we’re committed to a single mission: giving readers a local perspective on news, culture and commentary. We have local writers covering municipal and county government and community life in our readership area. Our feature stories spotlight the newsworthy notables as well as chronicling the everyday lives of ordinary people.
A one-year subscription consists of 26 issues, published every other week and costs $26 if you live within Washington County, $32 elsewhere. A single copy is $1 . The paper is delivered via US Mail and reaches area homes every other Thursday.
We hope we’ll be able to count you as one of our subscribers or advertisers. Feel free to call us at 479.839.2121. Email: news@wcobserver.com Our office is located at 104 N. Centennial Avenue (Hwy. 71 South) in West Fork, Arkansas
