Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind is a general-interest monthly available free of charge to legally blind people in contracted braille, on four-track/half-speed cassette, online and by e-mail.
The Ziegler, as it is known, publishes articles that first appeared in America's foremost newspapers and magazines. These articles cover a wide range of interests, including health, travel, nature, history, personalities, science, music, sports, humor and more. |

| Editors select articles from among four national newspapers and 30 popular magazines, including Time, Redbook, People, Smithsonian, Parade, Men's Health, Women's Health, Wired, Oprah, Yankee and The Saturday Evening Post. Some selections come from four dailies: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Christian Science Monitor. A variety of articles taken from these newspapers and magazines ensures that Matilda Ziegler Magazine always has something for everyone. | |
| Copyrighted content reproduced in the Ziegler Magazine is published in compliance with Public Law 104-197, the Copyright Law Amendment of 1996. This law allows authorized entities to reproduce or distribute copies of previously published nondramatic literary works in specialized formats, including braille, audio or digital text, that are exclusively for use by blind people or others with disabilities. | |
| In addition to articles, each issue contains news of interest to people with visual impairments as well as letters to the editor and "Special Notices," where readers and organizations can announce products and services. A short story, a poem and a pen pals section also appear monthly. Each Ziegler issue closes with "Bits and Pieces," which has short items of the month. | |
