So far during this part of the course we have looked at many magazines, but one we have focused on a lot is 'The Big Issue'.
This magazine is a charity magazine which is sold by the homeless throughout the week. Inside the magazine they like to address and deal with important issues that are occurring today in society. Their perspective is usually always from a socialist point of view to show that they are for the people and want to express their opinions in a way that feels honest and trustworthy to the general public.
The whole magazine brand has offered opportunities for people in poverty and severely struggling by allowing them to contribute to sales and making a job out of it to support themselves. With the amount of help and support 'The Big Issue' receives, it has boosted their sales to over 82,000 copies sold every week.
