'''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 indefinite number of other employees that help (or used to help) with the news.

[[File:ATALOB.JPG|thumb|left|100px]]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 one which will become 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 introducing himself as new citizen inside Talossa and blowing some fresh air into the Kingdom's press. Also, the Observer's creation has had the brief result of forcing [[Eoin Ursüm|Öin Ursüm]] to publish some new news on his online newspaper [[Mormoglhen]].
