Bio
Article 25 is a street newspaper based in Cincinnati; street papers are non profit, grassroots newspapers with a distribution model specifically designed to offer a creative solution to those suffering from unemployment, homelessness, or poverty. Distributors, who are financially struggling, homeless, or formally homeless individuals, families, or veterans, go through training and become certified distributors of a street paper. At Article 25, distributors buy the paper at 25 cents per copy - covering productions costs - and then sell the paper for a dollar on the streets and throughout the community of Cincinnati. The 75 cent profit serves as a supplemental income to help people get themselves back on their feet.
