Street paper success in the news
 Global readership of INSP street papers has increased by 10% since last year. Enders Analysis (the UK's leading media research company) described this as 'impressive', given the current trends in mainstream print media. INSP recently distributed this news as a press release, which was picked up on the Press Association newswire, and so far has also been run in several newspapers and websites in the UK, including The Scotsman and ITN. INSP's Executive Director was also invited on to BBC Scotland's primetime morning Radio show on the day of the release to discuss the growing street paper movement.
