Article 25: Provocative News, Independent Views

Article 25: Provocative News, Independent Views Article 25 is a non profit street newspaper founded by the former editor of Streetvibes, Greg Flannery.

Street papers are non profit, grassroots newspapers that are part of the International Network of Street Papers, reaching millions of readers around the world. Vendors, who are financially struggling, homeless, or formally homeless individuals or families, go through training and become certified distributors of a street paper. Vendors will buy the paper at 25 cents per copy - covering production

s costs of the paper - and then sell the paper for a dollar on the streets throughout the community. The 75 cent profit serves as a supplemental income to help vendors get back on their feet.

Writers at StuffYouShouldKnow broke down stats on Homelessness in this 2010 podcast. One of them points out that 30 minutes into their convo on homelessness, they mention and use a real homeless person's name for the first time: David Pirtle, quoted in the article they were discussing. Pirtle's quote: "Most of the despair in being homeless comes from being treated like you don't exist" http://bit.ly/nXmk74

From a reader: "(We) are fostering a young Afghani man ... who has applied for amnesty in this country. I had the paper on the kitchen table (he knows very little English) but when he saw the photo of the women's circle from Afghanistan, he lit up. He worked with the paper all week, chose his 20 vocab words from it for his class at Cinti State and took the paper with him to show his teacher this 'awesome' paper.
