The Big Issue #264
- 20 May to 19 June 2018
In this issue, South African journalists Ruda Landman and Lukhanyo Calata let us into their world as newsmakers.
Be sure not to miss out on our cover story with Sir David Attenborough. At 91, he is one of the world’s greatest broadcasters, not to mention adventurers and naturalists, of all time.
Talking about cover stories, our previous cover certainly caught the attention of several readers who rightly pointed out that there are no polar bears in the Antarctic Peninsula. We exercised our creative license and ran with the image of a polar bear with penguins, as this animal is the popular poster child of our frozen northern wilderness, and there is no such poster child for the Antarctic Peninsula, which is just as much under threat as the North Pole.
