Solely on-line (2016- )
The New York Observer (website: observer.com) is a conservative-leaning news website. The publication was purchased in 2006 by Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior advisor to President Donald Trump, who upon assuming his current political position transferred ownership into a family trust through which his brother-in-law Joseph Meyer took over his former role as publisher. The website-based publication focuses on the city's culture, real estate, media, politics and the entertainment and publishing industries. As of January 2016[update], the editorial team is led by Ken Kurson with other writers and editors including Rex Reed, Kara Bloomgarden–Smoke, Will Bredderman, Jillian Jorgensen, Drew Grant, James Jorden, Kim Velsey, and Matthew Kassel.
The Observer was first published in New York City on September 22, 1987, as a weekly newspaper by Arthur L. Carter, a former investment banker. In July 2006, the paper was purchased by the American real estate figure Jared Kushner, son-in-law to Donald J. Trump, on whose Presidential cabinet he serves as a senior advisor since 2017. The paper began its life as a broadsheet, and was then printed in tabloid format every Wednesday, and currently has an exclusively online format. It is headquartered at 321 West 44th Street in Manhattan.
Previous and present writers for the publication include Joe Conason, Doree Shafrir, Hilton Kramer, Andrew Sarris, Richard Brookhiser, Michael Tomasky, Azi Paybarah, Ross Barkan, John Heilpern, Robert Gottlieb, Foster Kamer, Nicholas von Hoffman, Simon Doonan, Anne Roiphe, Terry Golway, Ron Rosenbaum, John R.
