Equal Access Public Media (EAPM)
A nonprofit media org dedicated to making news and newsrooms accessible. A project with ANF, a 501(c)(3) supporting independent watchdog journalism. #AccessibilityFirst #AccessibleNews #NonprofitNews
https://www.equalaccesspublicmedia.org
- EAPM is building the National Tab so that quality, factual daily national news will be available in audio, video, text, simplified English, and sign language — making the news available to more people. #a11y #accessibility #BuildNews givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- Did you know that disabled people who have low literacy skills may rely on friends, family, or caregivers to get their news? The National Tab has pledged to publish a simplified English version of every story because everyone should have access to the news on their own terms. #a11y #EasyEnglish
- English language learners are critical stakeholders in American democracy. The National Tab has pledged to publish stories in Simplified English to help them, and others with low literacy skills, read the news. #ESL #EnglishLanguageLearners #a11y #EasyEnglish @nationaltab.bsky.social
- Journalists! We can't wait to tell you anymore. The Style and Accessibility Guide officially launches June 18! Join us for "News for all: a new standard for accessible journalism," from noon to 1:30 p.m. zoom.us/webinar/register/WN… #Journalism #News
- National Tab, our flagship outlet, will speak truth to power unburdened by corporate interest. givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- Watch EAPM editor Stacy Kess talk about accessibility in news on @theletterhack.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/live/4HmkJ8A...
- What is a free press worth to you? $20 a month will help put factual reporting in front of American voters, no matter their location, reading level, or disability. givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- You've probably heard we're building a news outlet called the National Tab. And we're doing it with grassroots funding. Want more info? givebutter.com/c/buildnews #EAPM #AccessibleNews #BuildNews #Accessibility #News #Facts @nationaltab.bsky.social
- Let's build a better news outlet. Together. givebutter.com/c/buildnews #EAPM #AccessibleNews #BuildNews @nationaltab.bsky.social
- If you think about how the national news is failing us too, spread the word or chip in to help build something better. #NotLikeTheOthers #BuildNews #NtlTab @nationaltab.bsky.social givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- Stay informed. Support a free and independent press.
- We're building a news outlet. Here's the concept: Factual national daily news that's really accessible to as many people as possible. Want to help? We love volunteers to help with social media videos and fundraising. Shoot us an email. info@equalaccesspublicmedia.org.
- Not everyone has access to news. Some people can't get past: • Bad coding for screen readers. • Lack of ASL on video. • Lack of audio descriptions. You thought we were gonna say paywalls, didn't ya? Those too. Let's build something completely different. givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- Don't let anyone interfere with your access to quality, factual information. In times like these, information makes a difference. News makes a difference. Support the free press.
- Local news has suffered from news consolidation and corporate takeovers. And the national news is now down to a few options: misinformation, whatever that mega-rich guy thinks should be published, or screaming opinions. Let's build something completely different: givebutter.com/c/buildnews
- When the government is peddling misinformation, sewing distrust, and trying to take away your rights, information is power.
- [Not loaded yet]
- We think so too.
- The revolution will not be televised. But it will be covered in the National Tab. givebutter.com/c/buildnews #NotLikeTheOthers #Nonprofit #Accessibility #News
- The revolution will have both ASL interpretation and closed captioning. #NotLikeTheOthers #Nonprofit #Accessibility #News
- The revolution will have audio, video, text, and a simplified version that's easy to understand for people who need it. #NotLikeTheOthers #Nonprofit #Accessibility #News
- The same guy profits when you buy diapers, watch TV, and subscribe to the Washington Post. That ain't right. Fight back by supporting independent journalism. givebutter.com/c/buildnews #FreePress #NonprofitNews

- EAPM is built on the idea that media is for the good of the public. That's why we're rooted in accessibility for news audiences and those who work in journalism. #EAPM #PublicMedia #ForYou #Accessibility

- Shouldn't a free press also be free to read or watch or listen to? We're building a news outlet without paywalls or subscriptions. Why? Because news is for everyone. That's just part of being accessible. givebutter.com/c/buildnews #EAPM #AccessibleNews #BuildNews @nationaltab.bsky.social
