Set of Standards...

The newly formed committee had a set of standards that they felt were important when setting up a Talking Newspaper- and Gwen, having already heard a version of a Talking Newspaper on tape, was keen to make sure that it was understandable and spoken in clear English- Sue Lawley being the ideal voice. This is what Gwen and the committee originally aimed for and that is when they advertised for people who might like to help read to blind and partially sighted people, by recording a message onto a tape recorder.
