Annual Report 2013—2014 Street Papers Exist to Tackle Homelessness and Poverty Annual report 2013—2014 Street papers exist to tackle homelessness and poverty. Homeless vendors buy copies of the street paper for half the cover price and sell them on, in order to earn an income and lift themselves out of poverty. Many street papers also offer social support and training. INSP supports and develops 123 street paper organisations in 42 countries. We build their capacity and sustainability by providing: editorial support; business development support; training; PR and marketing; best practice examples; start-up support; income-generation opportunities; social development support; advocacy; research findings; accreditation; networking opportunities; and innovative network projects. We achieve our goals by focusing on the following aims: 1. To build the capacity and effectiveness of street papers 2. To enhance the editorial content of street papers 3. To provide a global community for street papers 4. To promote the concept of street papers 5. To be financially sustainable Cover image courtesy of Becky Duncan Shedia vendor (Orthodoxia Skoura) 2 (Image courtesy of Shedia ) Contents: 4 People 5 Network 6 News service 8 Conference 9 Awards 10 Vendor Week 11 The Big Sell-Off 12 Events 13 Innovation 14 Supporters & accounts That’s £25 million into the pockets “of some of the poorest people“ in our towns and cities. From our Chairperson “I’m proud to announce that over the course of the past year, our hard-working vendors sold 23.5 million street papers. That’s £25 million ($42 million USD) into the pockets of some of the poorest people in our towns and cities. Thank you to all my street paper colleagues around the world for making this happen and for working together, learning from, and inspiring each other. I thank my fellow board members for their commitment and energy over the past year, and on behalf of all of us, I would like to thank Maree and the INSP team for their tireless work and professionalism in supporting our network.” Serge Lareault From our Chief Executive “It’s a great honour to lead INSP into its 20th year and to work with so many inspiring colleagues around the world. I’m proud of what we have achieved over the past year and I’m also very grateful to our staff and board for everything they have done for our network. I’m excited about the future for the street paper concept and for what we can do together as a network. I’m looking forward to supporting our members, not only to be great publications, but also strong and sustainable social businesses.

INSP continues to support the US and Canadian street papers as full INSP members. In 2015, we are taking our annual conference to Seattle (hosted by Real Change), so we are looking forward to seeing many of our North American there. We also continue to work closely with the INSP ‘German language platform’ (in Germany, Austria & Switzerland); and several other small regional street paper networks around the world.

Scottish author Irvine Welsh (an INSP ambassador) wrote an exclusive short story for us in 2013. ‘He Ain’t Lager’ updated us on the adventures of ‘Begbie’, his infamous character from his novels Trainspotting and its sequel Porno. The story was published by 32 street papers in 16 countries, and received widespread international publicity and media coverage, helping to boost vendors’ sales over the holiday period.

NCH Announcements Lessons from a Candidate Who Sought to End Poverty By Michael Stoops** Nearly forty years ago in 1968 this country lost a great American, Upton Sinclair, who had a profound impact forwarding social justice in the United States. He first came to national attention with the book, The Jungle, published in 1906 which exposed unsafe practices of the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Not as well known was Upton Sinclair’s effort to be elected as a U.S. Senator and Governor of California. As a socialist, he ran for a U.S. Senate seat in California in 1922 and got 50,323 votes. He ran for Governor in 1930 and got 50,480. He described that as progress. In 1934, he switched parties and became a Democrat. He carried the Democratic primary with 436,000 votes, and winning by a margin of some 25,000 votes. In the general election, Sinclair received twice the number of votes of any previous Democratic candidate for governor of California up to that point.

  • Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] Publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing
    Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing Erin Anderson, University of Pittsburgh This article argues that community publishing initiatives might extend the scope and impact of their work by critically examining the ways in which technology influences the production and circulation of their [counter]public discourse. Building upon the work of Paula Mathieu, the author analyzes the material and discursive complexities of the “street •••••••••••••• paper” movement as a site of community-based publishing, finding both limitations and potential in the survival-driven, print-based, and hyperlocal character of street paper media. Discussing an emerging digital platform for participatory blogging among homeless and low- income street paper vendors, the author suggests how a model of Web-based, multimodal, and interactive communication might work to •••••••••••••• extend the community literacy practices of the street paper movement. ver the past decade, the field of communication studies has demonstrated increasing interest in a previously neglected Omovement of independent newspapers and magazines called “street papers,” examining the role that these publications play in providing a platform for self-representation and rhetorical action by marginalized people. Sold on public street corners by homeless and low-income “vendors,” street papers exist to provide these individuals with not only a source of dignified, low-threshold employment, but also an independent voice that speaks to issues that affect their lives and the lives of people like them around the world. While there has been • 76 considerable disagreement as to how well individual projects fulfill this latter aim in practice, street papers in general have garnered substantial attention for their potential to contribute to “small acts of participation” (Novak and Harter 406), “communicative democracy” (Howley 274), and “counterpublic” discourse (Parlette 96) in the public sphere.

Is a House Always a Home?: A Survey of Homelessness Laws By: Marlei English1 March 6, 2020 Homelessness is a plague that spares no country, yet not a single country has cured it. The type of legislation regarding homelessness in a country seems to correlate with the severity of its homelessness problem. The highly-variative approaches taken by each country when passing their legislation can be roughly divided into two categories: aid-based laws and criminalization laws. Analyzing how these homelessness laws affect the homeless community in each country can be an important step in understanding what can truly lead to finding the “cure” for homelessness rather than just applying temporary fixes. I. Introduction to the Homelessness Problem Homelessness is not a new issue, but it is a current, and pressing issue.2 In fact, it is estimated that at least 150 million individuals are homeless.3 That is about two percent of the population on Earth.4 Furthermore, an even larger 1.6 billion individuals may be living without adequate housing.5 While these statistics are startling, the actual number of individuals living without a home could be even larger because these are just the reported and observable numbers.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 I V|£:S H S f <§195 I O I S S 4 -7 ABSTRACT The thesis argues that homelessness is complex and synergical in nature. It discusses the life events and processes that often trigger, protect against and predict the likelihood of someone becoming homeless (and/or roofless). It argues, that people’s routes into homelessness are complex, multiple and interlinked and are the result of biographical, structural and behavioural factors. This complexity increases with the age of the individual and the duration of their rooflessness. The thesis explores the homeless culture as a counter-culture created through people being pushed out of mainstream society. It argues, that what happened to people in the past, created the nature of the homeless culture. Furthermore it is argued that any serious attempt at resettling long-term rough sleepers needs to consider what it is that the homeless culture offers and whether or how this can be replicated within housed society.

Shepherd Dean, College of Communication NOVAK, DAVID R., Ph.D., August 2006. Communication Studies "FLIPPING THE SCRIPTS" OF POVERTY AND PANHANDLING: CRAFTING WORK, DOING DEMOCRACY, AND CREATING CONNECTIONS THROUGH STREETWISE (376 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Lynn M. Harter Homelessness is a complex social issue about which there has been no shortage of scholarly discussion. I enter this discussion through a case study of StreetWise, an organization in Chicago, Illinois. StreetWise produces a newspaper that is sold by people without homes or those at risk for homelessness. In bearing witness to the lived experiences of individuals traditionally excluded from public discourses, I provide an interpretation of how human action occurs in recurrent institutional patters of symbolizing that are developed and reinforced by the conditions of living. I work to understand how those discourses are shaped by extra-symbolic forces. Using the theoretical frameworks of American Pragmatism(s) and feminism(s), I utilized four methodologies to collect discourse related to StreetWise, poverty, and homelessness: participatory photography, in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis.

  • Executive Director Brian Carome on the State of Homelessness
    Sounds From the Street, Episode 14: Executive Director Brian Carome on the state of homelessness Transcribed by Joseph Doyle Brian Carome (guest): When I started this work homelessness was new. I didn’t grow up in a world where folks were sleeping in doorways. I grew up just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I found it outrageous that we had folks living outside, and I just felt compelled to get involved in the work. I fell in love with doing the work. Adam Kampe (Host): THAT’S BRIAN CAROME, EXEC DIRECTOR OF STREET SENSE, AND THIS IS SOUNDS FROM THE STREET, WHERE WE GET TO MEET MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TO END HOMELESSNESS. I’M YOUR HOST, ADAM KAMPE. IT’S HARD TO FATHOM, BUT HOMELESSNESS WASN’T ALWAYS A NATIONAL ISSUE IN THE US. IN FACT, IT’S AS YOUNG AS SOME MILLENNIALS. WHEN BRIAN CAROME GRADUATED FROM BOSTON COLLEGE IN 1985, HUNGRY TO CHANGE THE WORLD, HE ENLISTED IN THE JESUIT VOLUNTEER CORPS, A SORT OF DOMESTIC, SPIRITUAL PEACE CORPS. THAT EXPERIENCE SOLIDIFIED AND IGNITED HIS PASSION FOR ENDING HOMELESSNESS. SOME YEARS LATER, HE’S STILL AT IT, POURING HIS DEDICATION AND ENERGY INTO WRITING AN AMBITIOUS FUTURE FOR THE SCRAPPY NONPROFIT. BRIAN AND I DISCUSS THE VARIOUS CHANGES AFOOT AS HE EXPLORES HIS PAST, STREET SENSE’S PRESENT, AND WHAT LIES AHEAD. BC: Four years. It was four years this past November. AK: Okay. And what were you doing prior; what was your life like prior to becoming the Executive Director of Street Sense? BC: I’m in Many ways a really typical Street Sense story.

Massenmedien und Demokratie Getrost und in sicherem – weil kritischem – Fahrwasser kann der politische und theoretische Zusammenhang zwischen Massenmedien und Demokratie bei Jürgen Habermas’ inzwischen klassischen Schriften gesucht und nach wie vor gefunden werden. Im Mittelpunkt seiner 1962 vorgelegten Theorie eines „Strukturwandels der Öffentlichkeit“ steht eine Auseinander- setzung mit der politischen Funktion von Public Relations. Die wichtigsten Argumente und Bezugspunkte von Habermas seien hier memoriert: Massenmedien dienen der Affirmation und der Herrschaftsstabilisierung. Herrschaftsrelevante Kommunikation findet unter Ausschluss des Publikums statt. In öffentlicher Kommunikation dient das Publikum dem Zweck der Akklamation. Publizität entfaltet sich von oben. Kritische wird durch manipulative Publizität verdrängt. Öffentlichkeit wird zur Werbung. PR erschafft planmäßig Neuigkeiten. PR kaschiert geschäftliche Interessen mit Appellen an das vermeintlich öffentliche Wohl. PR verleiht ihrem Objekt die Autorität eines Gegenstandes öffentlichen Interesses.
