[nabs-l] a video advocating for audio description!

[Robert William Kingett]

correction, the ACB, not NFB.  The NFB have taken a position contrary to 
that of other advocacy groups on the need for audio description for 
television programming. Many blind people enjoy audio description during 
passages without dialogue in films and television programs. However, in 
many of these the plot can be followed from the dialogue and sound 
effects. Therefore the NFB has urged that audio description for 
entertainment programming be voluntary, not mandatory. However, the NFB 
believes that the Federal Communications Commission should require 
printed information that scrolls across television screens, such as 
emergency news and weather information and print information in 
advertising, to be transmitted audibly also in digitized speech. the ACB 
has done all the work, not NFB.
