Street News

Street News was a street newspaper sold by homeless individuals in New York City. It was founded in 1989 by Hutchinson Persons and Wendy Oxenhorn, marking the beginning of the American street newspaper movement. The publication provided a means of self-sufficiency for many homeless and unemployed individuals in the city. The newspaper was initially sold for $1, with 25 cents allocated to cover operational costs and 75 cents retained as profit by the vendors.
