Livingston has sold Street Spirit<\/em><\/a>, a Berkeley newspaper covering local homelessness issues, for 16 years. But on March 19, Spirit <\/em>staff, led by UC Berkeley alumna Alastair Boone, decided to temporarily cease distribution of the newspaper\u2019s print edition out of concern for the health of vendors like Livingston, leaving him and dozens of other sellers without the income they once relied on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninety percent of these street papers have shut down their print editions and switched to online-only publication due to coronavirus concerns\u2014something that has never happened in the network\u2019s 26-year history, said Israel Bayer, director of the North American Bureau of the INSP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
