Magazine
StreetWise is among the largest “street papers” in the United States and serves as a model for street papers across North America. Its staff have received numerous national, state, and local awards for the quality of StreetWise offerings, its service to the homeless population of Chicago, and its importance to the community in general. Reporters and contributors include professional journalists, journalism students, and StreetWise vendors, as well as clients from other Chicago area social service organizations. The agency strives to produce a weekly media journal that has value beyond its role in supporting the organization’s charitable mission. Producing a quality magazine allows vendors to earn an income in a dignified manner as they transition to stable employment.
