Accessibility

Understanding the news should not depend on a particular device, input method, or way of perceiving information.

Our approach

ClariCurrent aims to provide semantic headings, meaningful link text, keyboard access, visible focus states, sufficient color contrast, responsive layouts, reduced-motion support, descriptive image alternatives, and text that can be resized or read by assistive technology.

Accessibility is considered in editorial production as well as interface design. Headlines should be descriptive, navigation should remain predictable, and essential reporting should not depend on animation, hover behavior, sound, or an image alone. We aim to preserve reading order and meaning across phones, tablets, desktop screens, zoomed layouts, and assistive technologies.

Editorial accessibility

Charts and tables should explain their meaning in surrounding text. Video and audio should include captions or transcripts when they carry essential information. Color alone should not communicate a critical distinction.

Known limitations

Third-party embeds and external platforms may not meet the same standards. ClariCurrent favors direct links and accessible context when an embed would create a barrier. The private administrative dashboard is optimized separately from public reading pages.

Ongoing review

New templates and major interface changes are reviewed for keyboard use, focus visibility, readable contrast, responsive reflow, and understandable labels. Automated checks can identify some problems, but reader reports and manual testing remain important. When a fully accessible version cannot be provided immediately, the newsroom will try to offer the information in a practical alternative format.

Report a barrier

Email admin@claricurrent.com with the page URL, the barrier encountered, the assistive technology or browser if relevant, and the format that would help. Accessibility reports are treated as product defects and prioritized according to impact.
