  • The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in eight countries; it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals. It was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991. The Big Issue is one of the UK's leading social businesses, and exists to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, thereby helping them to reintegrate into mainstream society. It is also the world's most widely circulated street newspaper. To become a vendor, one must be homeless or vulnerably housed. The Big Issue recognises, however, that for many people, being housed is only the first stage in getting off the streets; therefore, The Big Issue Foundation exists to support vendors in gaining control of their lives by tackling the various issues which lead to homelessness. The Big Issue has been described as one of the most successful street newspapers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies a week and listed as the third-favorite newspaper of young British people (age 15 to 24) in 2001. There are 5 localised editions of the magazine sold throughout the UK, and vendors buy The Big Issue for 75p and sell it for £1.50. The magazine is also produced and sold in Australia, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Japan, Namibia, Kenya, and Malawi. All vendors receive training, sign a code of conduct and can be identified by badges which include their photo and vendor number.
  • The Big Issue ist eine international bekannte und erfolgreiche britische Straßenzeitung, die von professionellen Journalisten geschrieben und meist von obdachlosen, oder ehemals obdachlosen, Menschen verkauft wird.

Das Ziel des Zeitungsprojekt ist es, obdachlosen Menschen ein legales Einkommen zu ermöglichen (Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe). Die Zeitschrift finanziert sich durch Werbung und Verkaufserlöse.
