Accessibility Statement
Buzz Capitol is committed to making our website accessible to people with disabilities. News and information should be available to everyone, and we continue to work toward making our content as easy to access as possible.
Our Accessibility Goals
We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and represent the current standard for web accessibility.
We aim to make our site accessible by:
- Writing meaningful alternative text for images
- Providing sufficient color contrast between text and background
- Not relying on color alone to convey information
- Adding captions to videos where applicable
- Ensuring forms and interactive elements can be used with assistive technology and keyboard navigation
Accessibility Features
The following accessibility features are currently in place on our website:
- Proper HTML heading structure with correct heading levels
- Alternative text for images and graphics where available
- Text that can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or function
- A single, consistent way to navigate to each page, avoiding confusing or duplicate paths
- Descriptive link text that makes sense on its own, without needing surrounding context
Known Limitations
We are committed to making all content on our site as accessible as possible. That said, some content does not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Areas we are actively working to improve include:
- Some older articles contain images without appropriate alternative text
- Embedded third-party content (such as social media posts) may have accessibility limitations controlled by the third-party provider, not by us
- Not all videos are fully captioned yet
We are working on an ongoing basis to address these gaps.
Third-Party Content
Our site uses third-party services, including Google AdSense, YouTube, and social media embeds. We try to choose third-party tools that support accessibility, but we do not control the accessibility features of these external tools.
