Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
In other exciting holiday season news, The New York Times today reports: "For the first time in the modern history of the death penalty, more than 60 percent of all American executions took place in Texas." Used to be around 37 percent, for those keeping a body count at home. As Wonkette puts it: "Texas Kills Prisoners Like It's A Job." Especially Dallas' own Sharon "Killer" Keller. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
