THE BIG ISSUE Magazine




Our third and final magazine text is unique, interesting and pretty far from anything we've studied so far on either the AS or A2 course.

The Big Issue has become a British institution! The unique way the magazine is distributed sets it apart from other magazine's but it's content makes it truly original.

A text which has lofty ambitions and well and truly wears it's ideologies on its sleeve; The Big Issue started as a quirky way to help homeless people to help themselves and now has aspirations to end global poverty! Whether it will succeed is up to you to decide!
