Feder: StreetWise raises cover price
Posted June 28, 2022 1:00 am
StreetWise, the nonprofit weekly magazine spotlighting homelessness, poverty, injustice, inequality and life in Chicago, raised its cover price Monday to $3.
The one-dollar increase was the first in almost 15 years and the third in the publication's 30-year history.
StreetWise's 111 vendors - mostly homeless men and women - will get a 75-cent raise to $1.85 per issue.
"Given the inflationary pressures of producing a weekly news magazine and customers' desire to help the homeless, nearly all stakeholders supported this decision," Julie Youngquist, executive director of StreetWise, said in a statement.
