Hi Derek,
Quite so, so we don’t receive in Braille the whole of a magazine, just a
selection. I agree that the articles themselves should not be edited. But how
do we know that they are not edited?

Hi Mike
A Braille book should have same text as a printed book.
Braille magazine has articles from printed magazines.
So the articles in the Braille magazine, sholdbe same as
the same article in the printed copy.
Regards, Derek

Editing of Braille magazines by RNIB is commonplace because of
limitations of Braille space. Full magazines in Braille would be very
bulky. It is surprising how much material is contained in a standard
print magazine.

RNIB edits its Braille magazines in a way that didn't happen years
ago.
For example original article might read:
"The Aintree grand national yesterday was won by
Rule the World and its 19-year-old teenage jockey, David Mullins"
But if that was in a Braille magazine it would read
"The Aintree grand national yesterday (9 March 2016)
was won by Rule the World and its 19-year-old teenage jockey, David
Mullins"
Surely what's in Braille, or tape, disk, should be same as
original print

Hi,
Depends on your point of view. If you want the newspaper unedited,
then
they have got it right.
74 minutes is not much out of a newspaper.
All the best
Steve
