Milestone is street paper history

2009 has been INSP's 15th anniversary year. To celebrate this milestone in street paper history, a series of special events took place throughout the year, including a Civic Reception in Glasgow; the 14th annual conference and the second INSP awards in Norway; and the Reuters Networking Reception in London. As part of the celebrations, INSP publically celebrated 5 exceptional street papers which have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the development of the network, giving over and above; to develop the shared mission of the INSP. Thank you to The Big Issue (UK), BISS (Germany), Surprise (Switzerland), L'Itineraire (Canada) and The Big Issue Australia for their support throughout this year. INSP staff and Chairperson recently met with The Big Issue's John Bird in London to discuss ideas and collaborations for the coming year.
