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

Available for over a year

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 BBC and also from commercial stations, is radio becoming too visual and are the needs of visually impaired listeners taken in to account enough? Presenter: Peter White Producer: Lee Kumutat Editor: Andrew Smith.
