The Minnesota Bulletin is produced as follow.  It is done in print, braille, cassette, CD, website, and NFB-NEWSLINE.

Tom Scanlan collects and edits articles, and formats the MS Word file..
Jennifer Dunnam transcribes the braille edition for proofreading and final production.
Judy Sanders proofreads and provides corrections for both the print and braille editions.
Sid Starnes deals with the printer for the print edition and other tasks as needed.
Tim Aune duplicates the cassette tape edition and makes the master copy for the Compact Disc edition.
Art Hadley reads the audio edition for cassette tape and Compact Disc (paid professional reader).
Tom Scanlan marks up and posts the website edition.
Emily Zitek embosses and collates the copies for the braille edition and mails all editions Dave Andrews marks up and posts the NFB-NEWSLINE edition.
CDs are produced by a professional duplicating service.
Tom Scanlan maintains the mailing database and produces mailing labels.

This is a lot of people, but that is because we do so many formats.

Tom Scanlan
NFB of Minnesota
