I've just looked at this paper's website:
http://www.sedaliademocrat.com
It's not the most accessible website, but you will be able to figure it out.
Usually, as Dan suggested moments ago, you find a paper's "printer friendly"
link to simplify navigation, but this paper doesn't have that feature. Also,
some trial and error will be involved at the outset in figuring out which links
take you to the desired article. I just clicked on a link that I thought would
take me to today's lead item, but it took me, instead, to the second. By
chance, it's a misleading and inaccurate article on braille.
I get the sense the website also uses a lot of flash that might interfere with
JAWS. You'll need to turn off that feature, which I believe is one of the HTML
options in the configuration menu. If you're not familiar with it, I suggest
you write back to the list.
In any event, with some practice, you will be able to read this paper online.
All the best.

I am glad that JAWS does not have to be configured in any special way. I will
check out the home page of my local newspaper very carefully and perhaps place
some place markers in certain areas on the page for easier navigation. I live
in a small town in Sedalia Missouri. The name of the local newspaper here is
The Sedalia Democrat.
Thanks,
Alicia
