But perhaps thumbnail graphics aren't the way to go - wouldn't a dedicated news feed that was written in plainer English be more useful, users would then be able to choose stories from that feed and then have the full versions read out to them ?
Clearer news summaries would better all round.

Kim,
the application I am describing, promoting and developing benefits
people with a learning disability so your quote may be relevant:
"....not for profit playing of sound recordings and to help visually
impaired people."
furthermore, in the USA there have been recent changes in the law to
allow for instance large print versions to be published, where these
are not available from the original publisher, and thus prevent
complaints of copyright infringement.
It is possible that the recent DDA legislation, in particular with
respect to the DRC may require the BBC to provide online content
accessible to the 20% of the UK population who are functionally
illiterate.** though I am also not a lawyer, please note the BBC are
specifically included.
