Dear Georgia,
Your 2012 election news is here!
We are pleased to inform you about the addition of Election News and Information to the NFB-NEWSLINE® telephone service and Web News on Demand. Now, NFB-NEWSLINE® subscribers can listen to information from each of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates on their policies on education, economy and jobs, energy and environment, equal rights, healthcare, national security, and taxes. The information on the policies of each of the candidates is taken from their own official campaign websites and put on NFB-NEWSLINE® to provide access for our subscribers.
We have also created a customized newspaper and magazine publication containing articles, based on a search of the most popular newspapers and magazines for both the Democratic and Republican candidates
The newspaper search has been done by using the names of the candidates, and it has been limited to the top fifty newspapers to make it more manageable. The list containing the top fifty newspapers used in performing this search is at the bottom of this announcement for your reference. The list of newspaper articles is divided into two issues: one containing articles from today's newspapers, and another containing articles from yesterday's newspapers. The articles are listed in chronological order, so that the most recent articles are on the top of the list, and those that were published earlier are toward the bottom of the list.
There is also a separate list of searched magazine articles about the two presidential candidates containing the articles from the most recent magazine publications.
To read election news on the telephone service, press the number 5 key in the main menu to select the option "to read newspapers in a different state." Then press 1 on the keypad to select "2012 Election News." Next there will be a list with the following options:
To select the candidate for president, Democrat Barack Obama, press 1.
To select the candidate for president, Republican Mitt Romney, press 2.
To select the candidate for vice-president, Democrat Joe Biden, press 3.
To select the candidate for vice-president, Republican Paul Ryan, press 4.
To select the daily newspaper search results for Obama, press 5.
To select the daily newspaper search results for Romney, press 6.
Press the number 9 key to move to the next two items in the list in order to read the magazine articles. You will see the following two options:
To select the magazine search results for Obama, press 1.
To select the magazine search results for Romney, press 2.
Once you make your selection in this menu, you will be taken to the next menu containing the list of the searched articles, or the sections containing articles pertaining to different issues, such as healthcare, homeland security, or education.
The searched articles list can be searched even further for specific phrases. For example, to find all the articles about Colorado in the list of newspaper articles for president Obama, one may press the pound key twice to start a new search. Each letter is typed by pressing two digits: For example, 01 for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z and so on. Press pound (#) once to get typing help. Once you type your search term, "Colorado," NFB-NEWSLINE® will bring up all the occurrences of "Colorado" in the list of articles, and it will list them for you so that you may go through and read those specific articles. Press the number 3 key to go to the next article containing your search phrase, and press the number 1 key to go back to the previous article.
A new feature has been introduced to assist you in managing a large number of articles! You may press the number 1 key to circle back to the end of the list of articles. This feature is especially useful when you have a list of 200 articles and you want to go all the way to the end of the list without having to press the number 3 key repeatedly. For example, if NFB-NEWSLINE® tells you that there are 200 articles in a section and you want to go to article 198, then you would press the number 1 key three times after hearing the system state that it was reading article 1.
Those who want to do their own search for a topic and see all the occurrences of an article in all the different publications may do their own global search by typing their search terms. The global-search feature can be used by pressing 0 from the main menu, followed by number 4, and then 8, to create a new content search. You may type your search term by pressing 01 for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z, and so on. The first time you search for a term, it will be added to your list of terms, so that you don't have to type it again in the future. When you are in typing mode, you may press the pound key once to get typing help. When you are finished typing your search term, just dial 99 to start your search.
Election News is also available on the NFB-NEWSLINE® iPhone app. It can be accessed under the publications option by selecting Publication Groups and then selecting 2012 Presidential Election. You may also read election information on Web News on Demand at www.nfbnewsline.org.
NFB-NEWSLINE® is not responsible for the content of the material posted in its Election News section and does not support or promote any view of any candidate. The purpose of this additional service is to provide existing news and information to subscribers in an accessible format. Enjoy the Election News service, and have fun reading about your favorite candidate.
