In a discussion on another mailing list (about online journalism),
I highly praised Gregory Rosmaita's VICUG site with information on
the 11th's terrorist attacks, as well as this mailing list for having
an amazing degree of up-to-date vital information that obviously was
of import to anyone in the NYC area -- and was accessible in a way
that most other web sites and television programs were not.

I've been contact by a reporter about my praise for VICUG's role in
distributing information, and if any of you would like to talk about
this topic, or your views -- if you agree with me or disagree with me
-- about whether the net provides a valid source of information for
people with visual impairments during a crisis, please let me know
and I can get you in touch with this reporter.  Of particular
interest would be anyone in the New York area, of course.

Also, recommendations of good news sites -- "mainstream" or
"targeted" -- which are accessible would be appreciated.

PS:  Hey, Gregory!  Respond to my email!  I lost your phone number,
      again.
