Our Commitment

Dogged News is committed to ensuring that our content and website are accessible to all readers, including those with disabilities. We believe that independent journalism should be available to everyone, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our Site.

Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on the Site:

  • Semantic HTML: Our pages use proper heading structures and semantic markup to help screen readers navigate content.
  • Alt text: All article images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
  • Keyboard navigation: The Site can be navigated using a keyboard without requiring a mouse.
  • Color contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and backgrounds.
  • Responsive design: The Site is fully functional on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops.
  • Dark mode: A dark theme is available for users who prefer reduced brightness or high contrast.
  • Readable typography: We use clear, legible serif and sans-serif fonts at comfortable reading sizes.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of the Site may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We are actively working to identify and address these gaps. Known areas of ongoing improvement include:

  • Some older embedded content or third-party widgets may have limited accessibility
  • Complex interactive components such as article search filters may require further refinement for screen reader users
