2025 Audience Survey

Street Sense Media Audience Survey | Fall 2025 | The Newspaper

Street Sense Media loves our readers! Our award-winning newspaper is the core of what we do. Our low-barrier vendor employment program is built upon it. Our journalists cover local issues affecting real people and feature our vendors' voices, defying market trends in media. So thank you for taking this (hopefully brief) survey, because we're on pins and needles to know what you think about our newspaper!
1.How long have you supported SSM?
2.How often do you purchase 'Street Sense?'
3.Why do you purchase 'Street Sense?' Select all that apply.
4.If you turn down a copy of 'Street Sense,' why? Select all that apply.
5.What's a program, issue, individual, inequity, or other story in D.C. you want to see more reporting on? Think about an issue where reporting could have a big impact on people experiencing homelessness and homeless services.
6.What topics related to homelessness (i.e. shelters, encampments, homelessness among specific demographic groups, affordability, vouchers, public housing, the social safety net, homelessness policy) concern you the most?
7.Where would you like to be able to buy 'Street Sense' but can't find a vendor? (Describe an intersection, neighborhood, landmark or cross-streets.)
8.How do you interact with SSM online? Select all that apply.
9.How often do you visit the SSM website (streetsensemedia.org)?
10.Have you ever donated to SSM? (FYI, making a contribution to one of our vendors is great, but it doesn't pay the SSM bills.)
11.Of course you love 'Street Sense!' But what can we improve? No idea is too small.
