Audible.com distributes an audio edition of Science News. Having an audio edition is a great idea for the blind and for anyone who prefers audio over reading text. The Kindle has a text to speech feature as well. It is in the experimental stages and is up to the publisher as to whether to enable it. At least the idea is out there. The online component of the magazine was introduced in 1996. More news from the Science News reporting team also appears at the www.sciencenews.org.
