Talking News Federation
Over 500 local and independent talking newspapers across the United Kingdom are 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) forming a body to take a long term view of the future, assist with present issues, and deal 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.
