Continuing last month’s theme, the Australian Web Access Review (AWARe) will focus on the accessibility of news websites in March. Three popular news websites have been selected for this month including The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Last month the ABC News website, Yahoo!7 and Ninemsn News were up for review. The website judged most accessible was ABC News with a rating of 3 out of 4.

To have your say, go to the AWARe website, register and answer some questions on the accessibility of the sites. Your involvement will be vital in helping Media Access Australia talk with the website owners and address accessibility issues.
