Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe winning actress Dame Judi Dench is the new Patron of the Talking Newspaper Association of the United Kingdom.
The East Sussex-based Association operates National Talking Newspapers and Magazines (TNAUK), which provides more than 250 newspapers and magazines on subscription to blind and partially sighted people throughout the UK and beyond, through the use of audio CD, tape and digital services.
In addition, it recently introduced the DAISY service which uses compressed digital audio enabling up to forty hours of audio content on a single CD, making it easier to navigate between subjects, publications and articles.
