A Local Newspaper Gives Voice to the Homeless Community in Athens
A unique publication is making waves in Athens by focusing on a group often silenced: the homeless community. Street News, an initiative by the Athens Homeless Coalition, offers a platform for individuals experiencing homelessness to share their stories and perspectives. The newspaper’s content is primarily crafted by those who have firsthand experience with homelessness, providing readers with genuine and heartfelt narratives.
In a recent conversation with WUGA’s Havivah Saltz, Amy Paul, the co-editor of Street News, shed light on the mission and impact of the publication. Since its inception last year, Street News has released three issues. The latest edition was published in April, continuing its mission to elevate the voices of the homeless community in Athens.
Readers interested in exploring these unique stories can access all three issues online at athenshc.org.
