Connect Live News Network (CLNN) is committed to making its website, digital news content and online services accessible and usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including persons with disabilities.
We believe access to news and information should be inclusive. Our goal is to continuously improve the accessibility, usability and readability of our digital platforms and to reduce barriers that may prevent people from accessing our journalism.

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
CLNN aims to provide an accessible digital experience for readers, viewers, contributors and other visitors.
We seek to incorporate accessibility considerations into our website, digital publications and content practices, including where reasonably practicable:
- Clear and readable text;
- Logical page structure and headings;
- Meaningful links and navigation;
- Appropriate alternative text for relevant images;
- Accessible forms and interactive elements;
- Keyboard-friendly navigation;
- Adequate contrast and visual readability;
- Captions or other accessibility features for relevant video content;
- Accessible presentation of important information;
- Compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we recognise that not every part of our website or every item of historical content may currently meet every accessibility standard.
2. Accessibility Standards
CLNN seeks to improve its digital accessibility with reference to recognised accessibility principles and applicable requirements.
Where technically and reasonably practicable, we aim to align relevant aspects of our digital platforms with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The specific level of accessibility achieved may vary depending on the website technology, third-party services, embedded content and the age or format of particular material.
3. Website Navigation
We aim to make navigation as straightforward as possible.
Our website may include:
- Consistent navigation elements;
- Clearly labelled sections;
- Descriptive page titles;
- Structured headings;
- Search functionality;
- Meaningful links;
- Logical content organisation.
We will continue to review navigation and page structure to identify opportunities for improvement.
4. Text and Readability
CLNN aims to present news and information in a clear and readable format.
Where reasonably practicable, we seek to provide:
- Legible typography;
- Appropriate spacing;
- Clear headings;
- Short and understandable paragraphs;
- Descriptive link text;
- Sufficient visual distinction between important elements.
Readers may also be able to use browser or device accessibility features, including text enlargement, zoom, high-contrast settings and other assistive functions.
5. Images and Alternative Text
Images are an important part of digital journalism.
Where an image conveys meaningful information, CLNN aims, where reasonably practicable, to provide appropriate alternative text or other contextual information.
Decorative images may not require detailed descriptions.
Because CLNN publishes a substantial amount of news material, including breaking news and historical content, alternative-text coverage may not be uniform across every existing image.
We are working toward improving image accessibility across our content.
6. Video and Audio Content
CLNN may publish video, audio recordings, interviews, live coverage and other multimedia material.
Where reasonably practicable, we aim to improve accessibility through features such as:
- Captions or subtitles;
- Transcripts;
- Text summaries;
- Descriptive contextual information;
- Accessible media controls.
Availability of these features may depend on the source material, third-party platforms, technical limitations and the nature of the content.
7. Keyboard and Assistive Technology Access
We aim to support users who navigate websites without a conventional mouse or touchscreen.
Where technically feasible, interactive functions should be usable through standard keyboard controls and compatible with commonly used assistive technologies.
We recognise that accessibility can vary across browsers, operating systems, devices, screen readers and third-party components.
8. Colour and Visual Presentation
CLNN seeks to maintain sufficient visual contrast and avoid relying exclusively on colour to communicate essential information.
We also recognise that visual accessibility depends on factors such as:
- Screen configuration;
- Browser settings;
- Device display;
- User-selected accessibility settings;
- Website components;
- Third-party embedded content.
We will continue to identify and address accessibility issues as they are discovered.
9. Forms and Interactive Features
Where CLNN provides forms, search tools, comment functions, contact features or other interactive elements, we aim to make them understandable and usable.
Where reasonably practicable, forms should provide:
- Clearly identifiable fields;
- Meaningful labels;
- Understandable instructions;
- Appropriate error information;
- Accessible controls.
10. Third-Party Content
Some content displayed through the CLNN website may be supplied, embedded or hosted by third parties.
Examples may include:
- Social-media posts;
- Video platforms;
- Maps;
- Advertising systems;
- Analytics services;
- External widgets;
- Embedded documents or media.
CLNN does not control the accessibility features of every third-party service.
Where accessibility limitations arise from a third-party service, we will seek reasonable alternatives where practical.
11. PDFs and Downloadable Documents
Some CLNN content may be provided in downloadable formats such as PDF documents or other digital files.
We aim, where reasonably practicable, to make newly created downloadable documents accessible.
However, older documents, externally supplied documents, scanned records, court documents, government documents and archival material may not always meet current accessibility standards.
Where a document presents an accessibility barrier, users may contact us to request an alternative format where reasonably practicable.
12. Accessibility of News and Editorial Content
Accessibility is considered not only in website design but also in the presentation of journalism.
Where appropriate, CLNN seeks to provide information in ways that are easier to understand and navigate, including:
- Descriptive headlines;
- Clear article structure;
- Meaningful subheadings;
- Contextual captions;
- Proper attribution;
- Text alternatives for important visual information where feasible.
Accessibility does not alter CLNN’s editorial independence or standards of accuracy, fairness and responsible journalism.
13. Accessibility and Breaking News
Breaking news may be published rapidly as events develop.
During fast-moving situations, certain accessibility features may temporarily be unavailable or incomplete.
CLNN will endeavour to improve and update such material as reasonably practicable while maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the reporting.
14. Accessibility Feedback
We welcome feedback from users who experience accessibility barriers while using CLNN.
If you encounter a problem, please tell us:
- The webpage or content involved;
- The accessibility problem encountered;
- The device, browser or assistive technology being used, if relevant;
- The steps that caused the problem;
- Any alternative format or assistance you require.
Specific information helps us investigate and address accessibility issues more effectively.
15. Requesting Accessible Information
If you are unable to access important CLNN content because of an accessibility barrier, you may contact us to request reasonable assistance or an alternative format.
We will consider such requests on a case-by-case basis, taking into account:
- The nature of the content;
- The requested format;
- Technical feasibility;
- Availability of the original material;
- The urgency of the request;
- Applicable legal and accessibility requirements.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate alternative where practicable.

17. Response to Accessibility Requests
CLNN will endeavour to acknowledge accessibility-related requests within a reasonable period.
The time required to address an issue may depend on its technical complexity, the involvement of a third-party service and the type of alternative requested.
Where an immediate technical solution is not possible, CLNN may consider a reasonable alternative method of providing access to the relevant information.
18. Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise.
CLNN will continue to review its website, content practices and digital services to identify accessibility barriers and opportunities for improvement.
As technology, accessibility standards and applicable requirements evolve, we may update our practices and this Accessibility Statement accordingly.
19. Limitations
Although CLNN strives to make its digital services accessible, we cannot guarantee that every page, feature, document, image, video, third-party service or archived item will be fully accessible to every person or assistive technology at all times.
Some limitations may arise from:
- Legacy content;
- Third-party platforms;
- External advertisements;
- Embedded media;
- User-generated content;
- Digitised historical documents;
- Technical limitations;
- Material supplied by external sources.
We nevertheless welcome reports of barriers and will consider reasonable steps to address them.
20. Changes to This Statement
CLNN may update this Accessibility Statement as our website, technology, accessibility practices or applicable requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page with the relevant revision date.
