Guatemala has launched what publishers claim is central America's first braille newspaper. Together with Prociegos, the committee for blind and deaf people in Guatemala, Publinews – a Guatemalan version of the Metro – produced 2,500 copies of the freesheet, which were distributed to blind and visually impaired people throughout the country.

The project, financed by four businesses, will continue as a free monthly with the aim of providing its target audience with access to news and current affairs.
