[nfb-talk] Media Influence

[Cindy Handel]

Yes, it is, Peter.  The Fox network also handles some of the races in the 
beginning of the year.

Hello Mike and everyone,

    Is that the same as the "Speed Network?" We have Speed on our cable
system.

Isn't that what will happen with the Driver Challenge at Daytona in January?
The more we publicize that the better it shall be.  Does anyone have
influence with the Racing channel or might someone contact whatever station
will broadcast the race to help influence them to show a blind person
driving a car?

I guess I just don't understand why we can't counter these shows with some
publicity of our own.  If we feel so strongly about the negative perceptions
advanced by these type of broadcasts, why don't we try to get the Discovery
Channel or some such educational venue to portray blindness the way we would
want it portrayed?  Or, why don't we just do it ourselves?  We can't very
well complain about the influence of the media if we aren't willing to
invest in trying to influence it.
