Policy
Accessibility
We build for keyboards, screen readers, and everyone reading in bright daylight on a phone.
What we do
Semantic HTML and landmark regions, visible focus styles, keyboard access to every interactive control, and color contrast that meets WCAG AA for body text and controls.
Text size controls and a listen-to-article option on every story, plus full support for reduced-motion preferences and both light and dark themes.
Known gaps
Embedded third-party video players follow their own accessibility behavior. Map embeds may not be fully keyboard navigable.
Tell us about a barrier
