The Dallas Observer,LP is a free alternative weekly newspaper distributed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and headquartered in Dallas. At its inception in October,1980,by partners Ken Kirk and Bob Walton,it was conceived as a weekly local arts and cinema review publication,with the credo "Advocate for Excellence in Arts and Entertainment" on the cover. For a time during the early years,the paper switched to a biweekly publishing schedule. In 1985,the paper reverted to a weekly schedule and began concentrating on local news as well as the arts. While it is now known for its investigative stories of the local government,it also covers local sports stories,restaurants,events,and concerts.
