Border Observer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Border Observer is a weekly English language news magazine based in El Paso, Texas. From El Diario El Paso, was founded in 2004 in order to provide residents with analysis of news and events throughout El Paso County, and as a means of reaching English-speaking readers.
From its inception, Border Observer has tackled thorny issues neglected by other media outlets in El Paso. Rather than shy away from the tough questions, Border Observer asks them.
Recent articles have focused on what some see as a double standard in El Paso: one for the wealthy elite, and one for the working people. A controversial subject covered by Border Observer was the release of an officially sanctioned report by the City of El Paso, which portrayed low-income Hispanic residents as dirty and lazy. The public’s right to know facts is the guiding principle of Border Observer. Each Friday a new edition hits the streets providing journalism without borders.
Border Observer covers local, state, and national politics, local heritage, customs, sports, leisure, entertainment, fashion and international issues.
