Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

Shorter than a book but having more content than a newspaper, the magazine hits the sweet spot between variety and consistency. It is no wonder that the magazine as a text form continues to be popular reading among Filipinos from all walks of life. (Image courtesy of myonlysuperstar.blogspot.com)
