An Editor Who Makes Times Visuals Accessible to All

When a new accessibility visuals editor joined The New York Times in July 2022, it marked her first time in a newsroom. With a background in data visualization, she had previously worked at Visa. At The Times, she found that journalists were receptive to learning about making articles and visuals accessible to readers with disabilities. One feature she worked on was improving the availability of alt text for images. She emphasized the importance of accessibility in removing barriers to ensure everyone can engage with the stories.
