The Observer Newspapers officially stopped operation on Monday, June 7, 2010. The difficulties of the current economy coupled with the evolving nature of the community news business made it difficult for us to continue, with declining print circulation and declining advertising revenues.

We'd like to thank the community for its support over the years, and the generations of readers, advertisers and other Observer supporters who made the newspaper the primary source of community news in Herndon, Reston and Loudoun County over more than three decades.
