The '''''Orthodox Observer''''' is the official publication of the [[GOARCH|Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]]. The publication, currently in a newspaper format and published monthly, is bilingual, in English and Greek. It contains current news and information from the [[archdiocese]], [[diocese]]s, [[parish]]es, ministries, and organizations within the archdiocese. Additionally, as the official organ of the archdiocese it publishes official encyclicals, statements, and policies.

The ''Orthodox Observer '' was established by [[Archbishop]] [[Athenagoras I (Spyrou) of Constantinople |Athenagoras]] in 1934, during the time he was the ruling [[bishop]] of the Greek diocese in the United States. The ''Observer '' was initially published in a magazine format. The ''Observer '' has undergone many changes over the years since its establishment. The periodical began publication in its present newspaper format in 1971. Production of the ''Observer '' is now entirely in-house, which has provided savings in costs as well as enabling more timely inclusion of news and articles. The ''Orthodox Observer '' is available on the web.
