Publishing for social good in The New Issue
from Stack Magazines · host Stack Magazines
"We believe these stories deserve to be told..." George Wright is the driving force behind The New Issue, a new print magazine published here in the UK by Big Issue North. The Big Issue helps homeless people by recruiting street vendors to sell copies at a profit, which the vendor then keeps, and The New Issue is dedicated to helping the same people but via a different route. It’s intended as a slower, longer read; it’s more expensive with higher production values; and its quarterly publishing schedule allows the team more time to find and develop the stories they want to tell. In this conversation George speaks about the motivation behind the new magazine, and how they're reaching readers without selling on the streets.
