[Journalists] Help With A Class Assignment And Wishing To Network

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your note.

There are any number of newsletters available to you. All you have to do
is search out organizations, including the NFB, and I'm sure you will find
numerous opportunities. We have divisions that publish newsletters, and
you can find them onthe NFB web site
www.nfb.org

As for being a blind journalist, I work full time as a government affairs
reporter at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
I think the most apparent challenge is the lack of a comprehensive public
transportation system in north Texas. I cover a very large area none of
which is accessible via our limited transit options.
Other than that, I don't see differences between myself and sighted
colleagues.

Best regards.

Hi,
I'm new to this list, so please tell me if this request is off-topic.

First, the assignment. I am taking a course called Writing For Fun And
Profit from http://www.vu.org/. One of the assignments is to sign up for
ten writing newsletters. If you know of any you can recommend, would you
please point me to them?

Now, for the networking part. Is anyone willing to tell me what it's like
to be a blind journalist?

Thanks.

Jim
