Delivering the Best of South Plainfield for 22 Years!!

The Observer is the only newspaper covering South Plainfield 100% exclusively. We proudly deliver relevant news and information that matters to our readers about their hometown.

The Observer also co-sponsors the Junior Journalist program with HomeTown Heros. For 16 years we have been rewarding the creative writing efforts of South Plainfield students through the Junior Journalist program. In conjunction with HomeTown Heros, we have recognized more than 350 students. In the fall of 2016 we launched the “SPHS Athlete of Week” to recognize the achievements of outstanding high school athletes and provide a scholarship to one outstanding scholar-athlete. We are grateful that local businesses have recognized the value of this program and joined us with sponsorships.
