Social Streets Details
Social Streets is a not-for-profit media outlet that works to reach mass audiences while delivering social and economic impact through the provision of high-quality local journalism and media training.We publish neighbourhood magazines, in print and online, for places, working in partnership with the community to create original, high-quality content that champions the high street and celebrates the diverse cultural identity of each place.We offer digital training and mentoring programmes to ensure local communities have the skills to make the most from the local digital ecosystem we develop.Our ethosSocial Streets is a social enterprise. It uses journalism as a means to increase participation in local community and local high streets, build stronger local voices, connect people, promote citizenship, provide opportunities in the media, and increase digital skills. Social Streets particularly works within marginalise or disadvantaged communities, and with people from minority groups. Originally conceived in response to the decline of the high street, Social Streets believes a stronger community, with a stronger sense of identity and belonging, will result in a stronger local economy. This becomes a virtuous circle as a stronger economy will then provide more opportunities, economically and socially, for local people.To be able to deliver this to all communities, even in the poorest areas facing the most challenges, Social Streets is reinventing the local media model, moving away from reliance on advertising revenue towards a community-led model, with local partners and people contributing collectively to the overall success of the publication.
