Hard News

The Sunday edition of The Vancouver Courier, the cover story is on challenges faced by The Street - "a bi-weekly dedicated to giving a voice and an opportunity to the homeless".

From the article:

Right now the paper breaks even. Written and edited by volunteers, its published at Horizon Printers at a discount rate. Vendors buy each paper for 30 cents, which covers the printing costs, and sell it on the street for donations. Whatever [the vendor] pockets is theirs to keep, with some of it going to buy copies of the next issue.

The Street was once Spare Change.
