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.

Great way to support EAPM. Employee corporate donor programs double your donation!
Stretch your end-of-the-year donation. When you donate through your employee donor program, your employer may match you!

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.
