The Tasmanian Observer
The state's premier source of local and state news.
The Tasmanian Observer was founded in the 1950's by a group of enterprising journalists who were inspired by the legacy of the Gazette and sought to continue its tradition of fearless reporting.
One of the key figures behind the Observer was Rebecca Brown, a pioneering female journalist who became its first editor. Brown was known for her unwavering commitment to social justice and human rights, and her articles often exposed the mistreatment of women and minority groups in Tasmania.
The Observer quickly gained a reputation as a progressive and influential newspaper, with a circulation that surpassed its predecessor's. Its coverage of the suffrage movement and the fight for workers' rights helped to shape public opinion in Tasmania and beyond. Today, the Tasmanian Observer continues to be a leading voice in the state's media landscape, covering a wide range of local and international news with a focus on investigative journalism and in-depth analysis. Its commitment to upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity has earned it a loyal readership and a reputation as a trusted source of information.
