Summary
Chatterbox, the talking newspaper for the blind and vision impaired, records stories from the Norwich Evening News every week. We need help with this.Detailed description
There are four Chatterbox teams and each team includes about 4 sub-editors so the job is required on a Thursday lunch time every fourth Thursday. The sub-editors are provided with marked-up copies of the previous week’s Evening News showing the stories that the team leader/editor has selected for reading. The sub-editors check the text, eliminating errors and inappropriate wording, reducing the length when necessary, and then cutting the stories out and pasting them up ready for the readers to use. Full support and training is given. We send out about 400 USB sticks every week to our blind and vision impaired listeners.
