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.

Glossy and Gossipy

These magazines are typically not printed on glossy paper but on newsprint with a glossy cover, and are typically less expensive than celebrity magazines. Also, while celebrity magazines are typically published monthly, classified magazines are usually published weekly or bi-weekly.
