<DIV>Dear Fellow Federationists:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The National Federation of the Blind is proud to present brand new
radio
public service announcements for airplay on local radio stations throughout
the
United States. Most of the spots are only thirty seconds long, which is
usually
the preferred length, but we also have a 60-second announcement featuring
President Riccobono. In addition, two of the spots are in Spanish. The spots
include general announcements about the NFB, as well as messages
specifically
targeted to parents of blind children, blind parents, and people who are
experiencing vision loss but who may not yet identify as blind.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All the announcements are available for you to hear and download at <A
href="https://nfb.org/psas">https://nfb.org/psas</A>. We have hired a
contractor
to distribute the announcements to radio stations across the nation.
However, a
personal message from an affiliate or local chapter will substantially
increase
the likelihood that the announcements will receive airplay. Please plan to
reach
out to your local stations to let them know that the National Federation of
the
Blind wants to reach blind people and people who are losing vision in every
community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many stations will have a public service director. If a station doesn't
have such a director, it is usually best to direct a request to play PSAs to
the
program director. Usually you can find the correct contact information for
any
given radio station by visiting its website. If you contact a single
station's
office, be sure to ask if it has "sister stations" in your area, since there
are
companies that own several stations in many markets. Sometimes it will be
obvious that you've connected with the public service or program director
for an
entire cluster of radio stations in your community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We do not recommend that you send the MP3 files as attachments to
stations
unless you have spoken with them first and they specifically ask you to do
so.
Instead, please direct them to the link above, or to <A
href="https://digitalmedia.vnr1.com/2018/08/07/nfb_help_radiopsas/">https://digitalmedia.vnr1.com/2018/08/07/nfb_help_radiopsas/</A>,
where they can easily download the spots themselves.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are excited about these new announcements and eager to see what kind
of
response they receive in your communities. Please let us know whether they
are
being played in your area, including details about the stations airing them,
by
emailing me at cdanielsen@nfb.org.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for continuing to build the Federation by helping spread the
word
about our life-changing organization and its work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Warmly,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
