As often seems


to happen with our program, we only got one of our two major issues covered this time. So our next program will look at how the various notions of information
affect the field of blindness!
It is a little frightening to suggest that that the field of blindness and visual impairment is rife with misinformation. But why should we expect anything
else? ACB and NFB have their own versions of truth! Agencies may want to emphasize elements that do not paint as clear a picture of the services they provide
that they might! How do we explore what is true in the blindness field? All of us want to find ways to make our point of view seem stronger! We are not
purposely propagating disinformation but we are certainly selectively choosing the facts and arguments that bolster our notions of what is right and good.
Does ACB have propaganda? What's it like? How about other organizations? What might their predilections in terms of information look like? We hope that
many listeners will want to help us explore how we protect the truth and learn to think critically! Propaganda is the subject of our next Tuesday Topics
show!
Help us explore what the truth is about blindness!
