Do you know why we're still all in on DEI at EAPM? Because you can't have accessibility without diversity, equity, and inclusion.
There. We said it.

To be, or not to be? Do you really need it? Oh, yes. You do need to know it.

The word need is both a noun and a verb, but it is often misused in its verb form. As a noun, it means...

We're here to do two things:
1. Make news accessible for more people in the news audience.
2. Make journalism jobs accessible for more journalists.
Every project, seminar, event, and training is in support of those goals.

You can't have accessibility without diversity, inclusion, and equity — just like you can't have Equal Access without Public Media.

Great way to support EAPM. Employee corporate donor programs double your donation!

Feels like this should be a no brainer and I really want The Word to stick around so maybe there are other people out there who should drop some money their way? Like you, if you’re reading this. They use GiveButter and it’s tax deductible. equalaccesspublicmedia.org
But we will get a grant — all the grants, in fact — and more donations! Because people believe in our work at @eapmstyleguide.bsky.social and @the-word.news. And our other projects, like training journalists on accessibility, and eventually launching a new national outlet.

First, how is the media doing over all on accessibility? Not well, apparently.

Anyway, here was a brief rant I wrote for @equalaccesspublicmedia.org @the-word.news ... about how my colleagues in the mainstream media in particular have remained oblivious to their own susceptibility to media manipulation itself — and how dangerous that is the-word.news/2025/0923/tr...

Happy day after elections. With so many candidates focusing on affordability, we thought it might be helpful to post two terms:
• minimum wage (eapmstyleguide.org/minimum-wage/)
• living wage (eapmstyleguide.org/living-wage/)
and a song.
• minimum wage (eapmstyleguide.org/minimum-wage/)
• living wage (eapmstyleguide.org/living-wage/)
