Accessibility leads to inclusion.

Inclusion leads to diversity and equity.

Equity and diversity leads to stronger societies.

Stronger societies lead to liberty and freedom.

Yeah, we said what we said.

Does the crew from This Old House work on websites? Maybe who we really need is Car Talk's Click and Clack. Don't worry, we'll get everything fixed soon. In the meantime, bear with us.

Exactly this, except replace "indie feminist coop co-founder" with "founder of nonprofit public media entity focused on making journalism more accessible..."

I've been told by journalism foundations @equalaccesspublicmedia.org "isn't journalism" or that "accessibility doesn't matter."

- It's for my favorite cause.
- It's news trivia.

One in four American adults have a disability, but most newsrooms aren’t built with them in mind. Equal Access Public Media and our trusted partners can help train your newsroom to be more accessible for the news audience and employees.

Moreover, CPB is not just an entity. It is people who work tirelessly, who all believe that information is for the public good and for public education. We are holding space for the people who have dedicated their lives to this mission, but now find their mission ending.

"CPB, along with John Dewey and those in the early 20th century who theorized and experimented with public media, helped inspire the mission and vision for Equal Access Public Media," founder Stacy Kess said. "We wouldn't exist without the people who did it before us."

Although Equal Access Public Media was not part of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting family, we would like to express that the formal wind down of operations announced today by CPB is one of the greatest losses to broadcasting and information this country faces.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the day the Americans with Disabilities Act went into effect. Yet, disabled Americans are still battling for full accessibility. EAPM is doing our small part to push for more access to news.

For news audiences
Our initiatives, like the Style and Accessibility Guide and training sessions, aim to enhance news accessibility for the audience. We focus on individuals with disabilities who use alternative methods to access the web, as well as those with low literacy levels.
For journalists
Creating accessible news outlets, like the National Tab, fosters jobs for journalists with disabilities, chronic illnesses, veterans, and caregivers β€” individuals who frequently face underemployment.
