I compile and distribute texts of leading newspapers and magazines to
blind and visually impaired readers free of charge. Below find a list of
what I offer.

I am now offering to send daily or weekly newspapers and magazines in
either of two ways: as I now do, in the body of messages, or as text
attachments.
Here's
a brief reminder of the compilations I offer free to blind and visually
impaired readers. Feel free to add, drop or sample any of the
publications I list below. And let me know if you'd like text
attachments or the text in the body of the messages.
List of newspaper and magazine compilations:
Daily:
The New York Times (runs 250 to 350k usually)
The Washington Post (same size to slightly larger)
(Compiled primarily for those in or near Kentucky but available to
anyone interested:
The Louisville Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader) This
comination runs 300k to 400k daily.
Weekly:
Mondays The New yorker (runs 200k to 385k)
Tuesdays: Science Times and Health News (105 to 125k)
Thursdays: Tech Update from the N Y Times and W Post
Fridays: Slate, the Online magazine of News and Ideas (runs 350 to 425k)
Saturdays:U S News and World Report (runs 160 to 200k usually)
Sunday magazines ( N Y Times and W Post papers; runs 275 to 320k)
Sundays: Book World (from the Washington Post and New York Times Book
Reviewsruns 260 to 365k)
Why subscribe to these texts when it's likely you won't have time to
read them all the way through? For the same reasons that sighted people
subscribe to print newspapers and magazines with dozens of pages they'll
never read, but just skim over. You get to choose to read only those
news stories and articles that interest you. All items begin with this
search term:
"_next article"
and you can simply read the headline and first few sentences of each
item to see if you wish to jump forward to the next article or setle
back and get the full story. So while a compilation can have dozens of
articles you might choose to briefly note the headlines and opening
paragraph of most items and read fully that 10 or 12 items of special
interest to you.
The best way to find out aboutthese titles is to try a sample run of an
issue or two, then cancel if you wish.
Happy reading,
Will
