History

In 1954 Houstonian Frankie Randolph - one of the heirs to the Kirby lumber estate and an Adlai Stevenson Democrat - set out to create a newspaper that would cover issues ignored by the state's daily newspapers - issues dealing with race and class and the lives of working people. Ms. Randolph bought the State Observer, brought in Marshall lawyer Franklin Jones who owned the East Texas Democrat, and called Ronnie Dugger to the Driskill Hotel in Austin to offer him the job as editor of the new Texas Observer. He accepted.

From its inception, the Observer went where other publications in the state would not go. Editors Bob Sherrill, Billy Lee Brammer, and Willie Morris helped make the Observer one of the most respected publications in the nation. In the 1970s, Kaye Northcott and Molly Ivins set a standard for legislative coverage that has challenged every editor who followed. And Jim Hightower focused the Observer and its readers on the political economy - anticipating the absolute ascent of the global economy that would occur ten or fifteen years later.

just another Democrappy site...'nuff said.
