> Dear NFB-NEWSLINE Subscriber:
> 
> We are pleased to announce the addition of two new Breaking News Online publications. Just released today December 12th are Newser and Voice of America. We hope you enjoy these new additions.
> 
> According to the publications own website, Newser is a news curator with a kick. Our editors hand-pick the best stories from hundreds of US and international sources and summarize them into sharply written, easy-to-digest news briefs. Our signature grid offers a vivid snapshot of the day's most important, thought-provoking, and entertaining news in a lively presentation of photos and headlines. Newser combines the wisdom of editors and the power of technology, offering, we believe, a richer and smarter news experience. NEWSER can be found under the BREAKING NEWS ONLINE category.

> To access this publication via the telephone, select option 5 from the MAIN MENU. Then select option 5 for NEWSPAPERS IN A DIFFERENT STATE and then select option 1 for BREAKING NEWS ONLINE.
> 
> The Voice of America or sometimes referred to as V O A, is a dynamic multimedia broadcaster funded by the U.S. Government, broadcasts accurate, balanced, and comprehensive news and information to an international audience.
> 
> It started in 1942 as a radio news service for people living in closed and war-torn societies. It has grown into a multimedia broadcast service. VOA now reaches people on mobile devices and Facebook, through Twitter feeds and call-in programs, using the medium that works best for specific audiences. The Charter states, in part, that the V O A will serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news. VOA news will be accurate, objective, and comprehensive. The Charter also states that V O A will present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively, and will also present responsible discussions and opinions on these policies.

Note that since this content is obtained from their website, those references lead to video content that cannot be presented on NFB-NEWSLINE at this time.
