- Title
Are we there yet? The state of accessible publishing in 2022.
- Authors

- Abstract
Key points: The main hurdle for publishers wishing to implement accessibility policies is staffing problems—including technical knowledge, experience, and time availability.The publishing industry is investing in accessibility, but often fails to communicate what investment has been made—they are just not telling their story.Over half of surveyed publishers included image descriptions in less than 10% of their content—not one publisher included it in more three‐quarters of their titles.The European Accessibility Act (EAA) will require compliance with accessibility and all publishers need to ensure they have systems in place for front and backlist titles by June 2025.
