Abstract
As digital news has taken over as the dominant medium for delivery of news content to the public, accessibility issues have widened, particularly for people with visual impairments. By researching the question "In what ways can digital news, infographics, infographics technology, and web development be improved to cater to people with limited vision?", this study seeks to examine the ways that digital news, particularly infographics and data visualization, can better serve people with visual impairments. Semi-structured interviews with consumers of news media and infographics who have visual impairments inform a best practices guide for journalists and news media members so that they can make their work fully accessible, fulfilling the press' obligation to the entire public.
