Lyles, who serves as president of the National Federation of the Blind of
Arkansas, is excited to have this revolutionary service available to
him. “I love knowing what’s going on in the world around me, and
NFB-NEWSLINE® affords me that ability. Further, I very much appreciate
that with NFB-NEWSLINE®, blind people are not dependent on others to read the
news to us; instead, we have the same flexibility and autonomy that we would
with a traditional print newspaper. Finally, the news is not what
someone else decides is important; rather, NFB-NEWSLINE® subscribers get to
make the choice of what news is important to
them.”</o:p></SPAN></H1></o:p></SPAN></H1>
