Accessibility

WSTJ 1340 wants everyone in the Northeast Kingdom to be able to read the news, check the weather and roads, find an event, listen live and reach us.

Our goal

A website everyone in the Northeast Kingdom can use.

We want everyone to be able to use wstj1340.com, including people who use screen readers, magnifiers, keyboards, voice control or other assistive technology. We are working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and we check our pages as we build them.

This is a goal, not a promise that every page is perfect. Some parts of the site do not meet it yet, and we list the ones we know about below.

What we have built in

Features you can count on across the site.

  • Skip to content. A skip link at the top of every page lets keyboard and screen reader users jump past the menu.
  • Page landmarks. Each page has a header, labelled menus, one main content area and a footer, so screen reader users can move between them.
  • Headings in order. Every page has one main heading, and the sections under it follow in a logical order.
  • Text for images. Images that carry information have a text description.
  • Small screens. Pages adjust to phones, tablets and desktops, and work on a screen as narrow as 320 pixels without sideways scrolling.
  • Readable colours. We checked text and background colours on our main pages and fixed the low-contrast text we found.
  • Links you can see. Links inside our page text are underlined, so they do not depend on colour alone.

Known limits

Things we know do not fully meet the guidelines yet.

  • Text over photos. Some news cards put a headline on top of a photo. In places the text can be hard to read against the picture.
  • Links that open a new tab. Some links, such as the ones to the FCC public file, open in a new tab and do not say so first.
  • Content that updates itself. The weather page and the traffic camera pictures refresh on their own, and a screen reader may not announce the change.
  • Content from other companies. The live stream player, contact form, weather data, Red Sox and Bruins schedules and traffic cameras come from other sources. We cannot change how they work, but we will report problems to them.
  • Live radio. Our broadcasts are audio. We do not publish a written transcript of live programming. If you need the text of a news story or an announcement, ask us.
  • Older pages. A few older pages have not been reviewed yet.
