The
local newspaper, AIRDRIE & COATBRIDGE ADVERTISER is essential to keep in
touch with what is happening in and around the area in which we live,
providing news which does not reach us by means of television or radio. This
is the really local news from which the visually impaired are completely cut
off unless they happen to have a relative or friend who can spare the time to
read to them regularly. The "talking newspaper" fills this gap, and
plays an important role in helping to restore their independence as well as
creating the opportunity for them to continue to take an active interest in
the community. Every week volunteers produce a digital recording with
about 90 minutes of local news and features from the newspaper for blind and
partially sighted people in the Monklands area. |
