[nabs-l] Rewh An Update On The Matilda Ziegler Magazine ForTheBlind

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi Ashley,
I liked it, because it covered a wide range of topics, including new 
technologies for the blind being developed, how to use existing 
technologies, articles about experiences with guide dogs, editorial-type 
articles on various topics both blindness related and other subjects, 
articles about personal and meaningful memories that authors had from their 
past or in their childhood, and a recipe of the week section. There was also 
a supplement to the magazine that had a pen pal section where readers 
interested in finding pen pals could list their interests and how they 
wanted to be contacted. The supplement also had an events section where 
blindness-related events, such as summer camps and different classes, were 
posted as readers submitted them. There was also another section for 
announcements, where readers could announce anything that was going on or 
talk about promotions in their businesses and other things of this nature. 
Toward the end, a chat line section was even created to list all chat lines 
that readers sent in. At the end of the magazine, there was a reader 
discussion section where readers of the magazine could comment on any of the 
articles published in the magazine previously. Most of the authors were 
regular contributors who were blind themselves and shared a lot of their own 
personal experiences with blindness, guide dogs, and blindness-related 
technology, but they also had other contributors who were sighted who dealt 
with subjects such as their experiences with teaching the blind or parenting 
a blind child, among other things. The magazine always started with a short 
letter from the editor describing any specific articles that would be in the 
magazine and if there were any announcements or new sections that would be 
added. They also changed editors a few months back, so I am not sure if that 
had anything to do with the discontinuation of it, although I am assuming 
that that was a decision made by the board as indicated in the editor's last 
letter.
Misty

Hi,
I think they will start it up once they have funding.
So you subscribed. What did you like about it? What topics were covered and
did it have articles from blind people in various parts of the world?

Thanks.

Hi everyone I'd like to reply to the thread I started yesterday.
I really miss receiving the Matilda Zeigler Magazine For The
Blind in my inbox each Monday afternoon.  It was through this
publication that I kept in touch with what happens in the
blindness community.  I love being able to copy the recipes that
were submitted on a weekly basis.  I wonder if the magazine will
ever be published again.
