Observer Media is an American print and online media company. The company was formed through several acquisitions, including acquisition of the New York Observer in 2007. Observer Media is based in lower Manhattan, New York City, and is owned by businessman Jared Kushner. It currently publishes the New York Observer and the Commercial Observer, observer.com and Commercialobserver.com. The observer.com site is a consolidation of several notable online properties including The Gallerist, BetaBeat, NY Politicker, and PolitickerNJ.
In 2007 Jared Kushner began acquiring and merging several print and online media publications into the Observer brand, including New York Observer, BetaBeat, Gallerist, NY Politicker, SCENE Magazine and PolitickerNJ. These acquisitions became integrated into the website observer.com (Gallerist was integrated in September 2014, PolitickerNY in March 2014, BetaBeat in January 2015, and PolitickerNJ in August 2016).
In March 2012 Observer Media launched Commercial Observer, a commercial real estate publication. The organization has since received various awards, including "NAREE's 65th Annual Real Estate Journalism” award, "Best Team Report Silver” award (2013), and "Best Weekly Newspaper Report Silver” award (2014). The Commercial Observer publishes at commercialobserver.com and also publishes weekly print edition.
The Observer Media online site includes four main content categories: News & Politics, Arts & Entertainment, Business & Technology, and Style & Design. Observer Media continues to publish a print edition called the New York Observer, which features syndicated content largely from the observer.com.
