Our Mission

For 52 years, The Oklahoma Observer has served as the state’s only journal of free voices, providing news, analysis, and commentary that can’t be found in Oklahoma’s uniformly conservative mainstream media. Our motto: To comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Focusing primarily on political and social issues within our government and society, we aim to shine a light on rank hypocrisy and public corruption. Our hard hitting pieces on public education reform, health and welfare, civil liberties and separation of church and state have lead to some referring to us as “the conscience of Oklahoma.”

We speak truth to power, no matter who’s in charge: During Governor Henry Bellmon’s era, we were considered too Republican. During Governor Mary Fallin’s recently-completed term, we were attacked as too Democratic. At times, they’ve thrown darts at us at both political headquarters.

When Father John Joyce launched The Oklahoma Observer more than a half century ago, it was financed primarily through a subsidy from the Catholic Archdiocesan Council. But, church leaders yanked their support because of Father Joyce’s vigorous opposition to the Vietnam War.
