RNIB on accessible information from DWP; Is radio becoming too visual?

Peter White speaks to the RNIB about its claims of inaccessible government information sent to blind people. Plus is radio becoming too visual?

The Royal National Institute of Blind People is threatening legal action against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) because they say visually impaired people are receiving information regarding decisions on their benefits in formats they can't read.

Radio is increasingly becoming coupled with visual imagery - with listeners being directed to websites to view video content of items. Also with the advent of digital radio, music titles, artists and records are not always announced. Peter White asks contributors from the ±«Óãtv and also from commercial stations, is radio becoming too visual and are the needs of visually impaired listeners taken in to account enough?
