More Content Choice <BR> <BR> <BR>Baltimore, Maryland (October
12, 2009): The National Federation of the Blind announced today that
NFB-NEWSLINE®, the largest electronic newspaper service in the world for blind
and print-disabled Americans, now gives subscribers independent access to over
three hundred newspapers and magazines. This free service allows those who
cannot read conventional newsprint du e to a physical disability to listen to
the newspaper over the telephone, on the web, or by download to a digital
talking-book player. With the addition of national newsmagazines like Time and
interest-specific magazines like Science News to its roster of national and
local publications, NFB-NEWSLINE® continues to cater to the increasingly
divergent interests of its subscribers. <BR> <BR> <BR>Dr. Marc
Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said:
“NFB-NEWSLINE® is truly a testament to our belief in the importance of
offering print-disabled individuals access to the same vital information that
is available to our sighted peers. NFB-NEWSLINE® offers subscribers freedom of
choice, and now that over three hundred publications are available on the
service, we have more choice than ever.” <BR> <BR> <BR>Nijat
Worley, a college student from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Colorado, said: “I can't
tell you how much I enjoy being able to easily access so many newspapers and
magazines! All I need to do is pick up a phone or open a Web page and I can
choose to read from hundreds of publications including my hometown newspaper
or the New York Times, my favorite national newspaper. As a sophomore with a
double major in Political Science and International Affairs, the variety of
news sources offered by NFB-NEWSLINE® really helps me find material for my
coursework. Since it’s available any time, day or night , I can read the news
in accordance with my busy
schedule.” <BR> <BR> <BR>NFB-NEWSLINE®, which began operation
in 1995, offers TV listings in addition to newspapers and magazines to over
69,000 subscribers through several delivery methods: a standard touch-tone
telephone, a secure, text-only Web site, or by download to a digital
talking-book player. <BR> <BR> <BR>To experience the variety of
