[Blindtlk] NFB Newsline app now available

[Beverly Hunter]

If anyone is interested in this app but have not signed up for Newsline I 
would be happy to help. I am the Newsline Coordinator for the state of 
Georgia, but I can sign people up anywhere.

I was getting my newspapers thru the Read2Go app, but I will gladly turn to 
this app. It is much more organized and easier to get around newspapers and
