Accessibility & Problematic Language
-
thinking about how to ensure the zine pages are accessible online/via screen readers --> when scanning images/layouts - how can you ensure accessibility? - one idea is to create a text only version of the zine and consider creating a narration/audio file to accompany the zine where folks can hear the content
Accessibility & Problematic Language

providing context in writing for problematic language
-
as you use terminology that may be problematic, it is a best practice to provide context for the reader in your zine, similar to content or trigger warnings
Accessibility & Problematic Language

What types of problematic language might you need to confront in your zine submission(s)? What would be important for your audience to understand regarding the problematic language? What sort of guidance could you provide to support their utilizing of the zine?
