The Samoa Observer is the biggest newspaper group in Samoa. It is written in English and Samoan. The paper that is sold on Monday to Friday is called the Samoa Observer, the paper sold on Saturdays is the Weekend Observer, and the one on Sundays is the Sunday Samoan.

The Samoa Observer has articles on news in Samoa, news in other countries, opinion essays, sports, and investigations by reporters.[1] The Samoa Observer was founded in 1978 by Editor in Chief Savea Sano Malifa,[2] a poet and Pacific news writer who received the Commonwealth Astor Award for press freedom in 1998.[3]

The Samoa Observer has gotten awards for investigative journalism.[1] Some government officials and business leaders have sued the Samoa Observer in court for the stories it wrote about crime or other bad acts. [3]

The paper's offices are located in Apia, the capital city of Samoa. In 1994, the offices were damaged in a fire after it printed stories about government corruption.[4]
