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

[sami osborne]

Hi Misty.

I aggree with Ashley, that magazine does sound really 
interesting.
Too bad I'm not subscribed to x; however, do you
know if there is a way to see past articles of the magazine?
Because if there is, I would definitely read them and subscribe 
once the magazine is back up thanks to your description.
Thank you again for that!

Sami.

Magazine	ForTheBlind

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.
