Magazines for the Blind | |||||||||||||||||
Magazines cater to all different tastes. Visually impaired people (VIP) have all different tastes. However magazines are not normally accessible to VIPs. A sighted person could provide a reading service. There are hardly any weekly or monthly magazines that you would normally find in newsagents that are written in braille or provide a podcast of their content. This therefore excludes a huge number of people with impaired vision. A sighted person could help out by reading the contents of the magazine over the phone or face to face. Either the magazine is bought by the VIP via a monthly subscription or the sighted person buys the magazine and is reimbursed the cost by the VIP. This idea would ideally be most suited to being run through a local blind club where people would be vetted before being allowed to read the magazine.
