NFB-NEWSLINE announces the addition of several new publications:
We have added EBONY Magazine. EBONY is the number one source for an authoritative perspective on the African-American community. EBONY reflects the cross section of Black America as delivered by our best thinkers, our trendsetters, our activists, celebrities, and next-generation leaders. EBONY ignites conversation, promotes empowerment, and celebrates aspiration. They are the heart, soul, and pulse of Black America and a catalyst for reflection and progression.
We have also added Science Daily and Scientific American Online. These are both breaking news sources. Science Daily aggregates press releases and publishes lightly edited press releases (a practice called churnalism) about science, similar to Phys.org and EurekAlert! It was founded by a married couple named Dan and Michele Hogan in 1995. Scientific American was founded by inventor and publisher Rufus M. Porter in 1845 as a four-page weekly newspaper. Throughout its early years, much emphasis was placed on reports of what was going on at the US Patent Office. It also reported on a broad range of inventions, including perpetual motion machines, an 1860 device for buoying vessels by Abraham Lincoln, and the universal joint, which now can be found in nearly every automobile manufactured. Scientific American Online was launched in 1996 and includes articles from current and past issues, online-only features, daily news, weird science, special reports, trivia, "Scidoku," and more.
Lastly, we have added Hollywood Reporter, another breaking news source. The Hollywood Reporter (THR) was founded in 1930 and focuses on the Hollywood film industry, television, and entertainment industries, as well as Hollywood's intersection with fashion, finance, law, technology, lifestyle, and politics.
To find EBONY Magazine using the telephone access method, press seven off the main menu for Magazines. To find Science Daily, Scientific American Online, or Hollywood Reporter, choose option five for Newspapers in Another State and then option one for Breaking News. You can read these publications using the iOS app by choosing Publications, Publication Options, and then All Publications and searching for your publication of choice.
We hope you enjoy these exciting new additions to the service.
