Changes

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.
