Accessibility Statement

Newsroom.co.ke is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website as inclusive as possible.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Newsroom.co.ke takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Accessibility is part of our internal policies and editorial workflow.
• We appoint an accessibility champion within the editorial and technical team.
• We provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
• We include accessibility considerations in our design and development processes.
• We conduct regular manual and automated accessibility audits.
• We use clear, simple language and proper heading structure in our articles.
• Images and multimedia content include appropriate alternative text and captions where applicable.
• We ensure sufficient color contrast across the site.
• The website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone.
• Forms and interactive elements are labeled correctly for screen readers.
• We test the site regularly with real users who rely on assistive technologies.

Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

Newsroom.co.ke aims to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Latest versions of screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack
• Browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Speech recognition software

Known Limitations and Ongoing Efforts

Despite our best efforts, some areas may still present accessibility challenges, especially with:

• Certain embedded third-party videos or live streams that may lack captions
• Older articles published before our current accessibility policy was fully implemented
• Occasionally, rapidly breaking news content may be published with limited initial accessibility features (captions, alt text, etc.) but will be updated as soon as possible

We are actively working to resolve these issues and welcome feedback to help us improve.
