Listen to an audio recording about
Talking Newspapers »
There are over 500 local and independent talking newspapers across the United Kingdom - mainly run by volunteers. They record local news and information into audio format (cassette tapes, CDs, or through the internet) for blind and partially sighted people. Some of these services are now being expanded to physically handicapped people as well.
The Talking News Federation (TNF) is made up of 400 of these local Talking Newspapers (TNs). The TNF takes a long-term view of the future, assists with present issues, and deals with issues such as Copyright, Articles for the Blind, and proposed items of legislation and consultation. The TNF Executive Committee consists of a small number of local TN volunteers from across the United Kingdom.
This web site has two sections
The first is for anyone interested in finding out about local Talking Newspapers.
The second section is for members of local Talking Newspapers and Talking Magazines to receive information about the different aspects of managing a local TN or TM. This section has a password and contains details that will be available to members only. This web site will continue to grow and offer different ways to carry out the various tasks that are needed to run a local Talking Newspaper. It is not for the TNF to make decisions on how to run a local Talking Newspaper.
Please note that the Members’ Section of this website is available only for members. To access these pages a username and password will be required. If you have trouble with the password, please contact Ann »
