All we want for the holidays is news
• that meets the moment.
• that's accessible.
• that's factual.
• that's independent.
• that's free.

We love it!
You all know, I'm terrible at social media. So I had about 100 LinkedIn notifications for both me and @equalaccesspublicmedia.org when I logged in today. Well, apparently the Ally Shop will donate a portion of proceeds to EAPM! Go shop! Mugs, stickers, notebooks.

In 2025, Equal Access Public Media was generously supported by a grant from the Weiss Family Charitable Trust and a targeted grant for donor engagement from Project ASCEND.

EAPM plus news unions equals powerful change.

We see you, @newsguild.org.
In the last week or so, the @newsguild.org and a few of the news unions have started following @equalaccesspublicmedia.org. I am floored and flattered. And delighted. Here's why.

Our focus is simple: tear down barriers in the journalism industry and in news so more people who are disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, blind/low vision, and deaf/HoH — along with others who are left out — have access.

Support our work. equalaccesspublicmed...

Instructions on how to access an @npr.org interview on the site. The text is not a transcript, but a summary, followed by instructions that say, "click the blue button." What about screen reader users, those who can't see the color blue, or deaf folks? How does that help? #AccessibilityFail

Some of the best ways to help EAPM cost nothing at all. It just requires a click or a share.
Want to help? If you have a spare $5, donate it to make journalism more accessible. If you have a spare repost, repost the content. If you know someone who thinks about this stuff, share the website or one of our projects. It's just that simple.

It's SAD Awareness Month. Seasonal affective disorder can affect ability to focus and think clearly — another reason news must be accessible and meet people where they are.

Me looking over a schedule without any accessibility sessions for a conference about online news: Oh...

Me pitching a session to this same conference on digital accessibility basics in the callout for more sessions: Here I come to save the day!
