Robert,
Suite 101 is fairly typical for online news sites. It uses headings -- h 
in Jaws will get you to the top of the article and to subsequent 
sections. The thing to remember is that there is usually a list of links 
letting users post to Facebook etc near the top of the article. Using 'n 
for nonlinked text usually gets you to the beginning of the article 
within a few presses. There's always a set of Google ads (this point in 
the article is called "the fold" part way down. The fold can come in the 
middle of a sentence, so you can't always count on not missing anything 
if you use the command for the next heading. The ads often have 
nonlinked text within them, so using 'n in Jaws to get past the links 
doesn't work immediately. You just have to keep using n' till you get 
back into the article. Sometimes, you'll find just one word on a line 
and Jaws will say "link." This is called anchored text. If you enter on 
"link, National Federation of the Blind" you get to the homepage of the 
NFB -- assuming your article writer hasn't messed something up in the 
html code, as I did recently, that is.
HTH,
Donna
