Everyone needs ready access
to sources of "new information";
it's the content that makes
our conversations interesting
and meaningful. All individuals
have a right to this information,
not just those of us who
are able to decipher the
information-intense formats
favored by newspapers, radio
and television. NEWS-2-YOU
is designed for individuals
who need concise, visual
concepts. It provides "big
picture" news to a special
needs population previously
denied that information.
NEWS-2-YOU is produced weekly,
on Thursdays, and follows
a production schedule which
mirrors the school year
calendar. The first issue
is published the first week
in September, with the final
issue delivered the first
week in June. (No newspapers
will be printed during the
two-week winter holiday.)
Downloading each weekly
issue is very easy. You
will need to get a copy
of Adobe's free Acrobat
