[gui-talk] Newsline newspapers by e-mail

Tue Aug 1 16:47:12 CDT 2006

The problem is it is very sporadic as to when you get an email. I haven't
seen one in 3-4 days and one item in my favorites list has never been
emailed to me.

I think I've asked this before, but the topic has come up again and I'm
still puzzled about something.  What is this service about, this newspapers
by email thing?  What are the things that attract some people to it?  If
they're computer users with screen readers and know how to navigate the Web,

which I think describes all of us, why can't they just do as I do, and go to

the web sites of their favorite newspapers and read the news?  I'm not being

sarcastic.  I just don't get what this is about.  Were it not for Jaws, I'd
be desperate for some way to hear readings of the newspapers that used to be

dropped on my doormat each morning of the week.  It's not as if I don't also

have the radio (NPR's two daily news cycles, in my case) but written
articles are a very different animal, and NPR, whatever its admirable
qualities, can't replace for me the satisfaction of reading something
written, not "presented," as they say in the media world.  And I don't have
to put up with hearing "jump start" conflated with "kick start," or
everybody saying that these are conditions on the ground, at the end of the
day, that this or that is the suddenly all-purpose "robust," and a million
other such annoyances.

But the fact is that I do have Jaws, and so I brew my first mug of morning
coffee and put it beside the computer rather than on the kitchen table, as
before when I used to open up the Los Angeles times or New York Times there
and read with coffee and breakfast, except now I'm sipping my coffee while
Jaws reads me the articles whose headlines I click on from each section's
index page.  This doesn't seem a burden at all.  Again, I'm not trying to be

cute, but will someone please explain what the deal is with this newsline by

email thing?

thanks very much.
