hi, I am still interested on reporting this for the New York Times but I 
cannot move forward. my editor finds the issue interesting, but there 
are no truly newsworthy developments right now. In other words there's 
no action or anything happening for us to report on.

if you get the American Council of the blind  or the NFB or the AFB 
interested in starting a more formal effort (and I am wondering why 
there is none, nor why they are not working with you to do so as an 
advocacy effort) aimed at a range of online and traditional media 
outlets, not just Netflix.  then it will become news worthy. I would 
suspect that as soon as they heard of you that they would want to team 
up with you. this is mind blowing. I would in a split second. The only 
thing mentioned about you is on the ADP website, nothing else. Once that 
happens, you will be able to issue a report on how various media outlets 
and producers and studios react to your requests. That report would be 
newsworthy and something I can report on in a split second. Sooner, 
actually.

by the way, I have added you to LinkedIn. I have been reading your 
articles all night. you are talented at reporting. what I mean by this 
is your articles use powerful words. I rarely read an article that makes 
me forget I am reading. You report and you even do it with flare, 
something I hardly ever see anymore. Keep my contact information
