JET is the number one African-American newsweekly and has more than
seven million readers. It continues a legacy of serving authoritative,
credible and entertaining information. JET is notable for its role in
chronicling the American Civil Rights movement from its earliest
years, including coverage of the Emmett Till murder, the Montgomery
Bus Boycott, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The publication has been a
staple in the homes and businesses since 1951, bringing life to its
popular catchphrase: "If it wasn't in JET, it didn't happen."
The Forward delivers incisive coverage of the issues, ideas and
institutions that matter to American Jews. Its rigorous reporting and
balanced commentary on politics, arts and culture have won numerous
awards year after year, including repeated recognition by the Society
of Professional Journalists. The Forward has always been a nonprofit
association and is supported by the contributions of its readers.
Founded in 1897 as a Yiddish-language daily, the Forward soon became a
national paper, the most widely read Jewish newspaper anywhere. By the
1920s its circulation outstripped the New York Times. It chronicled
the events that affected a population of immigrants eager to earn
their place in American life, and published regional editions around
the country before any other newspaper.

the UK. The news service places emphasis on rolling news, including

We hope you have a chance to make your own luck with NFB-NEWSLINE and
KNFB Reader.

Make the print yours with KNFB Reader at www.knfbreader.com
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
