Street News was a street newspaper sold by homeless people in New York City. Established in 1989, it was founded and launched by Hutchinson Persons and Wendy Oxenhorn. This was the starting of the American street newspaper movement, and provided a way of self-sufficiency to the many homeless and unemployed people in New York. The starting price was $1 with 25 cents being used to maintain the business and 75 cents as profit for the vendors.
