Accessibility
A site made to be read.
Practical accessibility features, and ways to use them.
Reading and navigation
The site uses semantic headings, labelled navigation and a skip-to-content link. Main editorial content is available in the page HTML without requiring JavaScript. Text can be enlarged using browser zoom, and layouts adapt to smaller screens.
Keyboard use
Links, buttons, filters and worksheet fields can be reached with the keyboard. Focus indicators identify the active control. On narrow screens the Menu button opens navigation, and Escape closes it. Article contents links lead to the relevant sections.
Images and motion
Photographs include alternative text describing the visible subject. Photographer credits appear beside main images and on the about page. The site does not use autoplay video or flashing content. Reduced-motion preferences disable smooth scrolling and image transitions.
Search and the worksheet
Journal and study filters update a visible result count. Without JavaScript, all archive stories remain available. The brief worksheet has explicit field labels; generating a text download requires JavaScript, while the page can also be printed through the browser.
Scope
These features are implementation choices, not a claim of a completed independent accessibility certification. External websites linked from articles operate separately. If a control is difficult to use, the full archive links and ordinary browser printing provide alternative routes to the core content.
