Announcing our new Campaign of the Month: the CNN App for iPhone
Submitted by AppleVis on Tuesday, August 7, 2012.
The CNN App for iPhone has traditionally been very accessible. However, a recent update has introduced significant issues for both VoiceOver and Braille users.
Considering CNN's position as one of the leading global news sources, and the fact that people from around the world will be looking to them for coverage of the forthcoming US Presidential election, we're hoping that you will all support our campaign and lobby CNN to address these issues as a matter of some urgency.
If you've taken part in any of our past campaigns, you will know that it only takes a few moments and a handful of mouse clicks.
Clicking on the link below will take you to a form that will send your message direct to CNN. We've already pre-filled this with a sample message. If you are happy with this, just submit the form.
Submit this form to lobby CNN for improved accessibility.
We were thrilled by the number of people who supported our last campaign and lobbied Facebook to meet their publicly stated commitment to providing a great experience for everyone by making their iOS app accessible to blind and low vision users. The form for supporting this campaign is still available, so please take a moment to do so if you haven't already.
As always, thank you to everybody who supports our campaigns.
