Our Commitment
New York Daily News is committed to making our website usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA wherever practical across the pages we publish.
What We Do
- Use semantic heading structure and descriptive link text throughout our articles
- Provide alt text on featured images and in-article photos
- Maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background
- Ensure the site is navigable using a keyboard alone, not just a mouse or touchscreen
- Test our page structure against standard accessibility checkers as part of our editorial workflow
Ongoing Work
Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix. As we publish new content and update the site, we review pages for accessibility issues and correct them as they’re identified. No website is perfectly accessible to every user in every context, but we treat gaps as defects to fix, not something to ignore.
Reporting a Problem
If you encounter an accessibility barrier anywhere on this site — unreadable text, a feature that doesn’t work with a screen reader, a video without captions, or anything else that gets in your way — please let us know. Email info@newyork-dailynews.com with the page URL and a description of the issue, and we’ll look into it.
