New Online International Disability Magazine
Includes Articles in Spanish
,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*
The new international online magazine, disabilityworld, launched on March 23,
now includes articles written in Spanish or translated into Spanish and is
the first U.S. based disability periodical to embrace the growing Hispanic
sector of the disability community.
The objective is a dual one: to connect the disability leadership in English
and Spanish speaking countries worldwide; and to be more inclusive of and
accessible to the Hispanic population within the U.S. The premiere edition
features original reports in Spanish from Peru, Brazil and Portugal, as well
as several articles and news items which have been translated. Gradually,
Spanish language content will be increased, as our outreach into this
community grows.
DisabilityBuzz Column Added
Another new feature just added to www.disabilityworld.org is the
disabilitybuzz column which you can find by clicking on the What's New link
on the front page. This is where we will post the latest informal information
and insights about what's going on in the international disability community,
on and off-line. The International News department will continue to feature
more formal announcements of international research, projects, conferences of
significant interest and other developments.
International Scope Clarified
In response to last week's official launch, the staff of disabilityworld
received numerous inquiries about whether news of disability developments in
their countries could be included. The answer is yes!
The scope of this Bobby-approved online magazine is international and news of
developments from all countries is welcome and will be included, provided the
source can be verified and the content is considered appropriate by the
editors.
For the initial period of publication, we are concentrating on providing
comprehensive information from 10 countries (Germany, Russia, U.K., India,
Japan, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Brazil, South Africa and Uganda) but will
continue to report on disability developments worldwide.
Where to send news & articles
If you have news, articles or reports of research in English or Spanish which
are of interest to the international disability community, please email them
to disabilityworld@aol.com
