Did you know?
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 including cassette tapes, CDs or through the internet. Many of the talking newspapers work with the Talking Newspaper Federation (TNF). So if you're interested in finding out about the availability of a local talking newspaper in your area visit their site and search through their online database.
Leisure, vocational and professional magazines
RNIB has over 30 accessible leisure and vocational magazines covering a wide range of topics and audiences. From magazines for children and young people to ones for adults specialising in technology, politics, physiotherapy, shopping, literature, puzzles, music and more. These magazines are all compiled from several original print sources to give readers a really good selection of articles in their chosen interest. For example Upbeat, our magazine for music lovers takes articles from Uncut, Classic Rock and Mojo. While Aphra, our magazine for women comprises articles from Cosmopolitan, She and Marie Claire. The content for The Practical Lawyer is drawn from Estates Gazette, The In-House Lawyer, New Law Journal and All England Law Reports.
