the Talossan Observer, also known as tO, is a newscompany based in Cordenons, Italy. It is currently led by Lüc da Schir, with Glüc da Dhi acting as VP. The newscompany has also an undefinite number of other employees that help (or used to help) with the news. The newscompany has a website, currently hosted on Blogger (http://talobserver.blogspot.it), and periodically used to release a PDF issue of its news, the Sunday Observer.
Foundation
The foundation of the Observer was inspired by da Schir's forced renounciation to his Lucanian citizenship: in his 11-citizens micronation, he was the chief executive of two newspapers: il Corriere di Lucania, in Italian, and the main inspiration for the Observer, da Lukaniens Nevpapier (the Lucanian Newspaper), in Lucanian. He thought that a newspaper would have given the double effect of presenting himself as new citizen inside Talossa and improving the Kingdom's press. Also, the Observer's creation had the brief result of forcing Öin Ürsum to publish some new news on his online newspaper Mormoglhen.
Newspaper
The Observer used to release a PDF issue every two months, although CEO da Schir has announced the suspension of the PDF issue following the chronical lack of time of the tO staff. The issue was named "the Sunday Observer". The issue is coloured, and with about 7-8 pages. CEO da Schir has announced the release of a new PDF issue shortly after the end of the 45th Cosâ General Elections.
Website
The Observer has a website too, where the journalists post the news of the day. The 500 visitors wall was broken September 30th, 2012, while the website reached 1000 visits on March 29th, 2013. On June 21st the website saw its 2000th visit. Da Schir has valued the Observer's website as the fourth most visited of the Talossan world after Wittenberg, the Wiki and KoT.net, and before the Glheþ's website. The Observer has a Facebook page (23 likes) and a Twitter profile (43 followers).
