Accessibility Statement

SN Media believes that access to independent journalism should not depend on how someone reads, hears or navigates the web. We aim to make this Site perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for everyone, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-off task.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA — the standard widely referenced by accessibility law around the world. In practice, we build the Site so that it:

• can be navigated by keyboard alone, with a visible focus and a skip-to-content link;
• uses semantic, structured HTML that works with screen readers;
• provides text alternatives for meaningful images;
• maintains sufficient colour contrast for body text and key interface elements;
• reflows and remains usable on small screens and at high zoom levels.

We publish continuously and rely in part on third-party and embedded content, so some parts of the Site may not yet fully meet our target. Areas we actively monitor include:

• embedded third-party media, such as video or social posts, whose accessibility we do not fully control;
• older articles or images that predate our current standards;
• occasional gaps introduced by automated publishing, which we correct as we find them.

Where we identify a barrier, we prioritise fixing it and, where possible, offer an accessible alternative in the meantime.

If you encounter anything on this Site that you cannot access, we want to know. Please tell us what you were trying to do, the page you were on, and the assistive technology or browser you were using, so we can reproduce and fix the problem.

We review accessibility as part of how we build and maintain the Site, and we update this statement as our work continues. The effective date above reflects the most recent review. Your feedback is one of the most valuable ways we find and fix problems.
