Big Issue vendors will now sell a national version of the weekly magazine across the north
Manchester-based Big Issue North is to cease production, its publishers have announced. A decline in sales since the pandemic and soaring print, paper and energy costs, mean it is 'no longer financially viable' to print the weekly magazine, bosses have said.
"Hopefully we’ve done good journalism and helped vendors. I'm pleased the vendors will continue to get the support they sorely need." That arrangement will remain in place following the switch to Big Issue UK. In January Big Issue founder John Bird said the firm narrowly avoided going bust during the pandemic, as sales were hit by the cost of living crisis and a declining number of people visiting and working in towns and cities.
