Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton says Borders Talking Newspaper is celebrating its 25 year anniversary.
Ms Hamilton says the Borders Talking Newspaper is a free weekly service which plays an invaluable role in people's weekly routine.
The Tory MSP says the world can tune in to find out what is happening in the Borders via memory sticks.
"The key here is access," she says.
Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton calls on parliament to congratulate the Borders Talking Newspaper on its 25th anniversary.
Ms Hamilton says that the newspaper, which is based in Duns and Hawick, is a vital resource for people who are completely blind or have visual impairments and want to keep up with local news and issues.
The Tory MSP says that it is a simple yet effective measure to counteract the social isolation that can occur as a result of sight problems.
She says that the 180,000 people across Scotland who, according to the Royal National Institute for the Blind, have sight problems would benefit from this or a similar service.
Ms Hamilton thanks the numerous volunteers who give up their time to help keep this service available every week for listeners, and wishes the volunteers, organisation and listeners all the best for the future.

Image source, Getty ImagesScotland's Brexit Minister is Mike Russell. Perhaps he might be more accurately characterised as the anti-Brexit Minister or the Minister for Mitigating Brexit.
Either way, Mr Russell is a cultured individual, a prolific author indeed. He has a keen interest in Scotland's cultural, social and political history.
So it was no surprise that Mr Russell reached for an historical analogy when delivering a statement to Holyrood on the latest Brexit developments.
The UK government's approach to Scotland was, he said, a modern version of the "rough wooing". Remember? The dating scheme pursued by Henry VIII?
Tory MSP Jackson Carlaw asks the first minister to reflect on her rhetoric and says her ministers warmly welcomed the Scottish Conservative offer to work together.
Mr Carlaw asks if the first minister wants a soap-box or to find solutions.
Ms Sturgeon says she is not sure how much attention Jackson Carlaw has been paying, adding she does not mean that perjoratively.
The first minister says her government has been trying to find solutions since the referendum on the EU over a year ago, but when push comes to shove the approach of the UK government has been "it will be our way".
She says all efforts at compromise have been rejected by the UK government.

Scottish devolution vote from the archive
Monday marked the 20th anniversary of the 1997 devolution referendum, which led to the creation of the devolved Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.
I've been looking back at that historic day - and asking some of the key players about whether the parliament has met their expectations.
The then prime minister Tony Blair flies into Edinburgh - outside the left hand-side window of the helicopter there are stunning views of the castle.
On landing at Holyrood, he meets the Scottish secretary, the late Donald Dewar.
"Satisfactory, I think," Dewar says.
"Very satisfactory, and well done," Mr Blair replies.
SNP MSP Maree Todd asks how the Scottish government is marking the 20th anniversary of the devolution referendum.
Ms Sturgeon says she marked the anniversary on Monday.
She says the government will publish a series of papers on extending the powers of the Scottish Parliament.
Ms Todd says Damian Green has let the cat out of the bag as she accused the Tory government of a power grab.
The first minister says: "It is unacceptable."
She says she hopes all parties can find a way to protect the power of the parliament.
Ms Sturgeon calls on the UK government to sit up and take notice of the amendments to the Brexit bill to be brought forward by the Welsh and Scottish governments.

SNP MSP Bob Doris says the FBU has suggested there should be a series of intrusive investigations of high rises.
The first minister says the government will give consideration to any suggestions from those experts in fire safety.
She emphasises that no ACM, the cladding on Grenfell, has been found on any high rise block in Scotland.
Some panels of combustible material have been found in cladding at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the Scottish government has said.
It emerged after a meeting of the working group set up to review building and fire safety in Scotland in the wake of the Grenfell Tower blaze in London.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has carried out safety audits and confirmed the building is safe.
NHS Lothian is putting further safety measures in place, as a precaution.
These include controlling access to the building facade by introducing temporary fencing and increasing vigilance and security to prevent unauthorised people or vehicles from coming into contact with it.
Labour MSP Daniel Johnson asks what progress the government has made in the identification of combustible cladding on public buildings, in light of reports that it was found at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Ms Sturgeon says it has been confirmed that patients are safe in both hospitals affected.
Mr Johnson says combustible cladding has been found in a number of public buildings and asks how many buildings need to be checked.
Image source, bbcThe first minister says: "Our thoughts are with the victims of Grenfell and their families."
She says the government has focussed on buildings on buildings over 18m in height.
Ms Sturgeon says Angela Constance will update the member with all the details.
She again says the safety of patients is absolutely paramount.

In January we reported that the scope of an independent review of undercover policing in Scotland had been set out.
It examines what procedures and safeguards Police Scotland uses in relation to the practice.
The review was ordered by the Scottish government last year. It came after the UK government refused to extend a similar review in England and Wales.
The reviews follow numerous allegations across the UK that undercover police have abused their positions.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson directed Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland to investigate the actions of undercover officers.
This strategic review will be led by HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland Derek Penman.
Image source, bbcLabour MSP Neil Findlay raises the issue of undercover policing and the exclusion of Scottish victims from an inquiry into it.
Mr Findlay asks what the first minister says to these victims, including those who describe "state rape" and asks why there is no public inquiry in Scotland
Ms Sturgeon says HMCIS is currently carrying out a review.

The chief constable of Police Scotland, Phil Gormley, has stepped aside after further allegations of gross misconduct were made against him.
It emerged in July that Mr Gormley was being investigated by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) over bullying allegations.
He has now taken "special leave" after a further complaint was made.
Mr Gormley denies the allegations, and said he intends to resume his duties in the future.
He was appointed as chief constable of Police Scotland - which is the second largest force in the UK after the Metropolitan Police in London - in January of last year, and his contract still has 16 months to run.
