Newsdesk Mailing List now available

[suereyya poyraz <poyraz_bEi_uni-duesseldorf.de>]

>Newsdesk is a new e-mail list that allows you to read and share news stories
>about blind people and blindness-related issues. It is aimed to serve blind
>people, professionals in the blindness field, and others with an interest in
>blindness issues.
>
>Blind issues seldom receive extensive coverage in the main stream broadcast
>media. However, throughout the world, newspapers and web-based publications
>do occasionally feature interesting stories on blindness issues. But the Web
>is a big place. This list allows you to share those nuggets with others who
>want to be kept appraised of articles, media releases and political
>statements about blindness, while reading things that others have posted and
>you might otherwise have missed. Whether it be an article about technology,
>a human interest story, a medical breakthrough or anything else to do with
>blindness, it's welcome on Newsdesk. We also encourage organisations of and
>for the blind to post media releases directly to the list.
>
>Newsdesk is not a discussion list. All postings must first be approved by
>the moderator to ensure relevance. This means that you will be unable to
>comment on articles on the list. There are many other general
>blindness-related lists already, and we see no need to duplicate this
>function. Implementing this policy ensures that every message is relevant.
