The article, written on behalf of Vancouver’s street paper, Megaphone, is a great synopsis on the growth and efficacy of street papers.

“Last July, Street Speech in Columbus, Ohio, had a circulation of 800. In July of 2009, Street Speech had increased their circulation to 7,600. These are just a few examples of how street newspapers throughout North America are beating the odds by increasing circulation and offering a helping hand to those on the street.”
