<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStreet papers provide people who are facing housing insecurity with an opportunity to have a job, make money, and improve personal skills. The vendors purchase a paper for a determined price then sell that paper for more and keep the profits. Street papers can be found in major cities all around the world. The International Network of Street Papers, INSP, is a network of over 90 street papers. The purpose of this organization is to bring these street papers from communities around the world together to fight poverty and homelessness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the benefits of street papers include…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Learning time and money management<\/li>
- Improving social skills<\/li>
- Boosting self-confidence <\/li>
- Finding a community<\/li>
- Building a sense of purpose<\/li>
- Financial ability<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Even though all street papers have a common mission, they differ in some ways. Below are three examples of street papers in various countries with general descriptions. Street Roots (distributed in Portland, Oregon), Alberta Street News (distributed in Alberta, Canada), and The Big Issue North (distributed in the North of England, UK). The purpose of this analysis is to compare how street papers are constructed in different countries. Some of the factors that are taken into account are their mission statements, initial launch dates, website structures, and content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street Roots<\/em> – General Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- Street Roots was founded in 1999.<\/li>
- Each week about 200 vendors purchase the newspaper for 25 cents each, sell them on the streets for $1, and keep the profits.<\/li>
- More than 800 vendors sell the Street Roots newspaper during the course of a year.<\/li>
- Street Roots offers a mobile journalism program to their vendors. The vendors can take this class to gain personal skills that can later help them in the work force. <\/li>
- Values creativity, dignity, equity, grace, integrity, <\/strong>and relation<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Street Roots<\/em> – Website Structure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- It is easy to navigate.<\/li>
- It includes clear headers that helps guide the readers.<\/li>
- Advanced web design and does not look dated.<\/li>
- It seems to be frequently updated\/revised. <\/li>
- There are multiple opportunities to get involved with the vendors and\/or the organization (through the website). <\/li>
- They have a large social media presence. <\/li>
- The donate button pops right out at the user. This can be both a negative and a positive aspect of the website. It is positive because it helps bring in additional profits that overall benefits the organization and the vendors. However, this could be seen as negative because it might make the reader assume that the organization is only focused on funds instead of community impact. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Street Roots has five different news categories included in both their website and their hardcopy issues. These are Social Justice, Housing, Environment, Culture, and Opinion. This gives the reader a very wide range of topics to read about which also promoting information of poverty issues. Some other interesting features of Street Roots are the Orange Fence Project, their Podcast, and the Vendor Profiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\nStreet Roots – Orange Fence Project <\/p>The Orange Fence Project’s purpose is to increase awareness and change the narrative about homeless in the general public. In terms of their research process, Street Roots developed the Sweep Tracker<\/em> to provide them with more specific data. The Sweep Tracker<\/em> collects data points by tracking location, dates, and number of people affected, which helps quantify this societal issue. The end goal of this project is to have enough data to present to public officials to pressure them towards taking action against this issue and educate the public as well.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Street Roots – Podcast <\/p>The Street Roots podcast has two different parts. The first part is titled “walled in” which is a collaboration with the Exiled Voice (podcast based in Portland, Oregon). As of right now, there are two episodes available to listen to. They have interviewed senators and NYC columnists, with their content focused on current social issues such as police brutality, housing insecurity, and mental health. The second podcast is titled “The Street Roots Podcast” with the host DeVon Pouncey. There are currently around 36 available episodes on the website. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Street Roots – Vendor Profiles<\/p>The vendor profiles sections have pages upon pages of information on their vendors. Each story gives a background of the vendor, a message they want the public to hear, and what their aspirations are. Most of the vendors have described working for Street Roots as a way to find community, stop using drugs, and have had less criminal offenses since working for this street paper. These profiles put names\/images to the stories that are so common around us. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alberta Street News<\/em> – General Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- The first issue was launched in 2003.<\/li>
- The issues are sold by vendors in Edmonton and Calgary which would be considered their community and audience. <\/li>
- The vendors purchase the papers for 50 cents a copy and sell their papers for the price of a donation. Their papers do not have a set sale price which is unlike most of the other papers in the International Street Paper Network. An interesting angle to take on this would be to analyze the financial breakdown of this paper versus ones that have a set sale price. Depending on how much the community is willing to donate to the vendor, this might not profit them as much. However, since all of it is donation to the vendor\/organization, there is a chance they would feel more inclined to give them more that what other papers have their vendors sell for. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Alberta Street News<\/em> – Beliefs (taken from website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- Human rights are fundamental for a successful society. <\/li>
- Everyone deserves an opportunity to earn income. <\/li>
- Journalistic and organizational integrity. <\/li>
- Society benefits from a deeper understanding of poverty and social injustice. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nAlberta Street News<\/em> – Website Structure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- While this website looks more outdated, it is still easy to navigate. <\/li>
- Their pages are very to the point and there is not too much content that is overwhelming for the reader. <\/li>
- They have an interesting feature titled The Writers Corner<\/em> which allows for vendors to have their work published on the website. There are two pieces currently published: “I Am Widow” by Joanne Benger and “Sister in the Dark” by Linda Dumont.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Alberta Street News<\/em> – Content<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Alberta Street News covers general news content. Their archives are incredibly easy to access on the website as well. They have archives from the past four years online that are available without subscriptions. Having both paper copies and online copies helps the news reach more people in other communities from all different financial backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writers Corner<\/p>The Writers Corner gives the vendors opportunities to have their work published on the Alberta Street News website. There are currently two works published that are comparable to the length of a novel. Giving the vendors this opportunity for a creative outlet not only helps them have their voice heard, but it also gives them a sense of purpose as well. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Big Issue North<\/em> – The United Kingdom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSelling Big Issue North also gives vendors motivation and helps to boost their self-esteem.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>Big Issue North Website Big Issue North is a business solution to a social problem.<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Big Issue North<\/em> – General Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- Anyone who wants to sell can sell. Meaning, they do not ask for a permanent address, a bank account, ID, qualifications, or previous experience. All street papers are structured this way to be able to reach as many people from this population as possible. This is unlike other “standard” jobs because their target employees are people who do not meet these requirements. <\/li>
- Their first issue was launched in December of 1992. <\/li>
- Staff gives vendors advice on getting housing, developing language skills, financial or health advice. Since there is more funding being pushed into this paper, there are more resources for the vendors themselves. In comparison to Street Roots and Alberta Street News, Big Issue North is a much more developed paper financially. The founders of Big Issue are John Bird and Gordon Roddick. “The Big Issue is one of the UK’s leading social businesses,” (The Big Issue – Wikipedia<\/a>). <\/li>
- 75% of vendors have never begged and all of the 19% of the vendors who have been convicted have been charged with less offenses since selling.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Their website is extremely easy to navigate. <\/li>
- It seems to be updated very frequently and has a lot of pages for the user to explore. They also have a large social media presence as well. <\/li>
- The website has modern characteristics. For example, it is aesthetically pleasing, sharp, and clean. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Big Issue North<\/em> – Content<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Their general news content is consistent to that of the other street papers. They cover topics from politics, the environment, and other social justice issues. One of the incredibly interesting features of Big Issue Street is their app, Street News. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Street News<\/p>Street News is an app developed by the publishers of Big Issue North. This app is available on Apple and Android devices and was released a little over one year ago. The app publishes news content from other street papers from all over the world, including Big Issue North. The app took the name of the first street paper to be published, which was in New York in 1989. This app is free to download and the user can read up to five stories without paying, but to get unlimited access, the user would need to buy a monthly subscription. The overall mission statement of “Street News” is to give people the ability to read content from all of the world, while also learning more about street papers as a whole. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- How are these papers similar?<\/strong> All three street papers, Street Roots, Alberta Street News, and Big Issue North all serve a very similar purpose, which is to provide people struggling in poverty with the opportunity to earn income while also engaging with the community. The concept of a street paper also helps humanize homeless people and change the common narrative and conversations about them. It personalizes the vendors and makes them less invisible. Having this job also teaches them very valuable life skills that can give them the help to get housing or improve their financial situations. <\/li>
- How are they different? <\/strong>These papers differ in many ways. For example, how they interact with their vendors, how they advertise donations, and how much funding the papers have. The street paper that does the best job at directly showcasing their vendors and highlighting their stories on the public websites is Street Roots. They give detailed stories on each committed vendor that they have working for them. This helps to expand how much we, as house people, understand people who are homeless. Furthermore, this increases how much we can relate to the “other” on an empathetic level. With a broadened perspective on this issue, more and more citizens can make better informed decisions on a political level. This can be by voting for candidates that plan to increase the welfare program, improving the eviction process, and opening up more jobs that people without home addresses can have. <\/li>
- Which paper seems the most about the vendors?<\/strong> All of these papers seem to be incredibly focused on making a difference in the homeless community (based on their mission statements). However, Street Roots and Alberta Street News took this to a different level, by directly involving the vendors in sections of their papers with both the Vendor Profiles and the Writer’s Corner. Big Issue North does not have a section of their paper that focuses on the vendors directly. This paper seems to put the most effort into being an accessible news outlet that produces content for the general public. Both of these approaches make a direct impact in the community and overall are a great opportunity for homeless people to take advantage of. However, with Street Roots and Alberta Street News highlighting the vendor’s directly, it is creating a different conversation about homelessness and cancelling some of the circulating narratives in society. <\/li>
- How do the street papers age impact their overall quality? <\/strong>As shown in the graph below, the oldest paper is the Big Issue North. This paper, in terms of website structure and content, seems to be the most developed out of the three. Their content is broad, they have created an app, and their website is extremely polished. Though, all three papers meet exceptional standards and are working towards a better community. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
