Accessibility : High Flyers

Here is an approximate accessibility ranking of the top 20 Newspapers websites.

The audits are conducted using in-house AI-based technology developed by Urbilog and concern only the automatisable subset of the WCAG 1.0 (W3C). The actual quality of accessibility of the site in question is thus likely to be overestimated, as the non-automatisable rules are not checked for.

To assess fully all the issues surrounding the accessibility of a website, or for any other consulting service, don't hesitate to contact us via the contact form. Likewise, if you feel a site (or class of sites!) is missing, just drop us a line.
