Accessible Journalism for Everyone

At Davidson Press, we believe news should be seen, heard, and understood by all.

Our Accessibility Features

These features are built into the Davidson Press website and work across all pages on desktop and mobile.

Adjustable Text Size & Contrast

Readers can increase or decrease text size at any time using the accessibility panel. A high-contrast viewing option is available for improved readability across all pages.

Screen-Reader Friendly Design

All pages use correct heading hierarchy, semantic HTML, and ARIA landmark roles. Buttons, links, menus, article cards, forms, and audio controls are fully labelled for assistive technology.

Keyboard Navigation Support

Every key part of the website is accessible without a mouse. Users can tab through menus, articles, buttons, audio controls, and navigation in a logical order. A visible focus state highlights exactly where you are on the page.

Reduced Motion Option

A reduced motion setting is available for users sensitive to movement. All animations, transitions, auto-scrolling, and moving elements respect both the in-site preference and the operating system's reduced-motion setting.

Transcripts for Audio Reports

Every audio report includes a written transcript directly available on the same page. Transcripts are formatted clearly and professionally for easy reading.

Caption-Ready Video Content

All current and future video content supports captions and subtitles. Video players are fully accessible on both mobile and desktop.

How to Use Accessibility Options

  1. Look for the Settings icon in the bottom-right corner of any page.

  2. Click or activate it to open the accessibility panel.

  3. Choose your preferred text size: Normal, Large, or Largest.

  4. Switch contrast to High for maximum readability.

  5. Select Reduced motion if you prefer less movement on screen.

  6. Your preferences are saved automatically and will be remembered on your next visit.
