Hi again Jeff and all,
I investigated a little further, and it appears none US residents can
get access to NFB newsline through subscribing to Bookshare Periodicals
for a fee. And your friend is right, pretty much all US newspapers are
available on NFB. It looks though UK newspapers are not part of this deal.
I only found about this earlier today; I think I will try to subscribe
to Bookshare later and then will see if what I found is correct.
Many thanks to you and to your friend for the suggestion.
Kind regards,
Amro

That would be really good, but I understand NFB service is only available for US residents; I’ve just double checked and the website gives this impression too. Does anyone know otherwise?
Kind regards,

Thanks a lot, David, this is great. I write for a couple of newspapers on geopolitics and political affairs, so yes, I require the full publications, and for my sins I have to go through as much as possible of this massive pile of articles and then some. I’m trying to consolidate all those news outlets in one place - the eText service sounds a very good start. Off to investigate.
For anyone else reading, please chip in if you have any other suggestions.
Regards,
Amro

Note these are the full publications and not distilled articles.
The New York Times International Edition.
The times and Sunday Times
The Independent and Independent on Sunday The Guardian and the
Observer.
I also occasionally read the financial Times through this service.
I have not personally read the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Or Washington Post through the service and I don't think they are available though I do read The Economist through both the eText and the separate Audio CD General Magazine service.
I think there are other financial based magazines available such as Investors Chronicle Money Week etc.
I suspect that the most economic route for you would be to subscribe to the RNIB for the eText service and then find other arrangements for Wall Street Journal, Washington Post etc.
Personally I find that keeping up with the New York Times The Economist and some of the UK content is pretty massive in itself anyway, requiring hours for full reading. You could probably get away with dipping into the websites of Wall ;; Street Journal etc.

Subject: [access-uk] News subscription service?
Hi all,
I’m looking for an accessible news subscription service, akin to Apple News Plus, but to include the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, plus the UK’s Guardian, The Times, and The independent. Preferably in an iOS app, but something on PC will do just as well. I’m not sure if such a thing exists let alone being accessible.
Any thoughts please? Thanks.
