Fullerton Observer
The Fullerton Observer is an independent community-based newspaper[1] from Fullerton, CA. The newspaper was founded in 1978 by Ralph and Natalie Kennedy, Roy and Irene Kobayashi[2]. In 2024, it was announced that the granddaughter of Ralph and Natalie Kennedy, Sasika Kennedy, was the new owner and editor of the Fullerton Observer[3].
The newspaper prints biweekly physical issues as well as a free biweekly online edition alongside its one-off news articles. The newspaper also operates a podcast entitled Observing Fullerton.
Fullerton Newspaper Rack Ban
In 2024, the city of Fullerton banned all non-government content from being distributed at city buildings, including newspapers, with the sole exception being the "community news" rack in Fullerton Libraries[4] [5], which required community-produced materials to fit within an 8.5in x 14in form-factor, while the Observer is 11in x 17in.
Both the Daily Titan and Fullerton Observer were affected by this ban as it raised concerns of censorship[6]; however, they did not experience significant changes but still are not allowed in government buildings.
