CRIS Radio Aims to Guide Visually Impaired Readers
CRIS Radio serves thousands of visually impaired Chicago area residents by reading newspapers and magazines aloud over a sub carrier of WBEZ. Volunteers read top stories at about 15 to 16 per hour, with access via receivers provided free after approval. The service expands to Hispanic papers like La Raza and EXTRA Hispanic, and operates on a modest budget with aging listeners causing growing demand.
