Subject: [Nfbnet-master-list] NFB-NEWSLINE Adds Papers to Celebrate
Anniversary


8/3/15

NFB-NEWSLINE offers seven new publications in celebration of the twentieth
year of NFB-NEWSLINE, and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National
Federation of the Blind.

Two of our new additions, ABC News and CBS News, can be found in the
"Breaking News" section.

ABC News provides breaking national and world news and exclusive interviews.
It is the news division of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), owned by
the Disney Media Networks division of the Walt Disney Company. ABC News'
longtime slogan is "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from
any other source." ABC News can be found under "Breaking News."

CBS News is another source for the latest breaking, national, and world
news, including politics, sports, entertainment, business, and more. CBS
News is the news division of American television and radio network CBS. CBS
recently launched CBSN, the first live anchored 24-hour streaming news
network exclusively online and on smart devices. CBS News can be found under
"Breaking News."

We are also adding two papers to our International Newspapers
section: London's Daily Mail and Australia's Herald Sun.

The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid. First published in
1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling
daily newspaper after The Sun. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily
newspaper aimed at the newly-literate "lower-middle class market resulting
from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of
competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks," and was the first British
paper to sell a million copies a day.

It was at the outset a newspaper for women, the first to provide features
especially for them, and as of the second-half of 2013 had a 54.77% female
readership, the only British newspaper whose female readers constitute more
than 50% of its demographic. The Daily Mail has been awarded the National
Newspaper of the Year in 1995, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2012 by the
British Press Awards.

The Herald Sun is Australia's largest-selling daily newspaper, a morning
tabloid published in Melbourne. It includes Victorian, national, and world
news, plus entertainment, sports, and business. 
The Herald Sun was established in 1990 as an amalgam of the afternoon daily,
The Herald, and the morning daily, The Sun News-Pictorial. It is Victoria's
paper of choice --latest readership figures confirm the Herald Sun is
Australia's favorite daily newspaper.

You can find the Daily Mail and the Herald Sun under "Newspapers in Another
State" and then "International Newspapers."

Our next offering is a new award-winning magazine. The Atlantic was founded
(as The Atlantic Monthly) in 1857 in Boston, Massachusetts, and is now based
in Washington, D.C. It was created as a literary and cultural commentary
magazine, growing to achieve a national reputation as a high-quality review
with a moderate worldview. The magazine has notably recognized and published
new writers and poets, as well as encouraged major careers. It has also
published leading writers' commentary on abolition, education, and other
major issues in contemporary political affairs. The magazine has won more
National Magazine Awards than any other monthly magazine. The Atlantic can
be found under Magazines.

We are also introducing the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, the newspaper of record
for Bozeman and southwest Montana, whose slogan is "Empowering the
Community". Since 1996, the Chronicle has been published each morning, and
its first Saturday edition was published in 1997. It is noted by many of its
residents and non-residents to have an entertaining Police Reports section,
which include "many minor crimes of a more humorous or absurd nature." In
2011, they published the book, "We Don't Make This Stuff Up," a compilation
of over thirty years of some of these crimes.

If you are not a Montana subscriber, you can read the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle under "Newspapers in Another State," "Montana." You can find this
paper if you are a Montana subscriber under "Newspapers in Your State." It
might be worth taking a look at that Police Reports section!

The last item to be added at this time is The Texas Observer (also known as
The Observer), a nonprofit American political news magazine regarded as "the
state's leading journalistic voice for progressivism." It is published
monthly and based in Austin, Texas.

The Observer was founded by Frankie Randolph and founding editor Ronnie
Dugger, in Austin, in 1954 to address topics ignored by daily newspapers in
the state, such as issues affecting working people and concerning class and
race. Upon its founding, Dugger declared the paper's manifesto as "We will
serve no group or party but will hew hard to the truth as we find it and the
right as we see it."

Fitting with its "muckraking" reputation, the publication's slogan
is: "Sharp reporting and commentary from the strangest state in the Union."
The Observer often garners more laurels from those who live outside Texas's
borders than those within; The New York Review of Books described it as
"that outpost of reason in the Southwest." John Kenneth Galbraith said the
Observer is a "well-researched journal which more orthodox Texas statesmen
feel should not have the protection of the First Amendment."

The Observer operates on a shoestring budget -- it accepts few
advertisements, supporting itself through donations and benefit banquets.

If you are not a Texas subscriber, you can find The Texas Observer under
"Newspapers in Another State," "Texas." If you are a Texas subscriber, you
can find this paper under "Newspapers in Your State."

NFB-NEWSLINE, a service of the National Federation of the Blind

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
