Other uses National Observer disambiguation Refimprove date November 2009 The National Observer was a weekly American newspaper published by Dow Jones & Company from 1962 until 1977. Hunter S. Thompson wrote several articles for the National Observer as the correspondent for Latin America early in his career. The newspaper was the inspiration of Barney Kilgore, then the president of Dow Jones. Kilgore is credited as the genius who transformed the Wall Street Journal from a provincial financial daily with a circulation of 32,000, mostly on Wall Street, into the national giant it became. It was Kilgore s idea that the nation needed a weekly national newspaper that would synthesize all the week s events and current trends into an attractive, convenient package. In effect, the National Observer would offer the kind of quality nonfinancial journalism that the Wall Street Journal once featured in its front page leaders the articles that occupy the left and right hand columns . ref name AJR cite news last Morton first John title Great While It Lasted url http www.ajr.org article.asp?id 2721 newspaper American Journalism Review date December 2002 ref References references DEFAULTSORT National Observer Category Defunct newspapers of the UnitedStates Category Defunct weekly newspapers Category Publications established in 1962 Category Publications disestablished in 1977 Category Pulitzer Prize winning newspapers US newspaper stub it National Observer ... more details
