The Berkeley Observer We are a dedicated online publication that covers local news in Berkeley County, SC. The U.S. Census Bureau already ranks Berkeley Co. They want it NOW.

as the 35th fastest growing county in the country. In South Carolina, it is not only considered the biggest county but also the fastest growing. With that in mind, The Berkeley Observer launched in January 2014 in order to cover news regularly impacting the state’s largest coastal area. We are the first news outlet based strictly online dedicated to covering the county to the fullest extent. We fu

lly understand how the Internet is changing how people get their news. People don't want to wait to see the big story published in the paper. By then it's old news. We also fully understand how social media is such a power player in the delivery of news. That's why you'll find us on Twitter, Facebook and instagram. Oh, yeah--we have the only news app available for just Berkeley County. Download it today for FREE! Ultimately, we strive to be a voice for all municipalities and communities–Moncks Corner, Hanahan, Goose Creek, Daniel Island, St. Stephen, Jamestown, Cross, Bonneau, Huger, Cordesville, Lebanon, Alvin, etc. Our neighboring counties, specifically Charleston, have several forms of media covering the news of the day, so it only makes sense that the largest county in the state should receive the same attention. And that’s where we come in!
