Four New Publications Added to NFB-NEWSLINE

December 5, 2012

We are pleased to inform you that we have added four new publications to 
NFB-NEWSLINE service, which brings our total to 361 publications. 
NFB-NEWSLINE is an audio information service for the blind which provides 
access to print publications. We have 307 newspapers, including the 
Associated Press newswire and the United Press International newswire; 38 
magazines such as the Economist and AARP Magazine; ten international 
newspapers including the China Daily and the Jerusalem Post, and four 
Blindness Specific publications such as the Braille Monitor and the Matilda 
Ziegler Magazine.

Two of the four new publications are part of a new category labeled Breaking 
News Online. These are the Huffington Post, a very well-known online site, 
and CNN, which is part of Turner Broadcasting Systems cable news network. To 
access the new Breaking News Online publications, select option 5 off the 
main menu and then press 1.

The ACB Braille Forum, a publication of the American Council of the Blind, 
is the third new publication. This is available in the magazine section, in 
the Blindness Specific category, option 7 from the main menu followed by 
option 1.

Finally, a newspaper from Topeka, Kansas, rounds out the additions, the 
Topeka Capital Journal, available by accessing option number 5 from the main 
menu and then navigating to the state of Kansas. NFB-NEWSLINE subscribers 
living in Kansas can access the Topeka Capital Journal by just pressing the 
number 3 key after logging into NFB-NEWSLINE on the telephone.

NFB-NEWSLINE also provides other types of information to the blind such as 
job listings, option 9 from the main menu; TV listings, option 8 from the 
main menu; and weekly Target ads from the Target Corporation, option 6 from 
the main menu.

such as the iPad, the iPhone, and the iPod Touch. Just download the
