28625782 | 191394 | How to propose an accessibility team or role in your newsroom: What they do and why they are needed | <p>A day in the life of an accessibility specialist may not be what you expect. And it can differ between companies. I'll go over some of the models out there and demo a bit of what I do as the first-ever Accessibility Engineer at The Washington Post. I'll outline how I pitched my job at The Post after starting an informal accessibility working group at the company. I'll also share insights on how you can advocate for similar roles in newsrooms of any size (they don't have to be engineering roles).<br><br>The goal is for you to learn:<br>- a variety of accessibility considerations, especially those less discussed in media today<br>- what an accessibility specialist actually does (my job at The Post is just one model)<br>- strategies on making a business case for accessibility roles in newsrooms<br><br>Not all newsrooms have the same resources. This session will take that into account. Accessibility can and should be the job of someone (or an entire team!) in your newsroom.</p> | 2023-03-03 10:15:00 | 2023-03-03 11:15:00 | 0 | 1 | 4296408 | 579487 | 81 | [ { "categoryTitle": "Speakers", "links": [ { "title": "Holden Foreman", "label": "The Washington Post", "image": "", "gb_url": "gb://guide/191394/poi/?id=15476146", "target_object_id": 15476146, "target_content_type": "custom_list.customlistitem" } ] }, { "categoryTitle": "Forms", "links": [ { "title": "NICAR23 Session Evaluation", "label": "Please complete this session evaluation", "image": "", "gb_url": "gb://guide/191394/survey/?id=20962&object_id=28625782&content_type=schedule.session", "target_content_type": "survey.survey" } ] } ] |
