We want AMK News to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or captions. Our target is WCAG 2.2 level AA.
What we do
- Semantic headings and landmarks on every page, with a "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element.
- Every control is reachable by keyboard; focus is visible.
- Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content; layouts reflow on small screens.
- Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text; information is never conveyed by colour alone.
- Images carry alternative text; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- No content flashes more than three times a second; the breaking-news ticker can be paused by hovering, and respects "reduce motion" settings.
Tips
- Text size: Ctrl/Cmd and + or − in your browser.
- Reader view: most browsers offer a simplified article view from the address bar.
- Listen: system screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, TalkBack) read our articles in order: headline, summary, byline, body.
- RSS: you can read AMK News in any feed reader via /rss.xml.
Known issues
Some embedded third-party videos do not carry captions we control. Older articles may have incomplete image descriptions; we are working through the archive.
