Accessibility Statement
Aevum News is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Aevum News is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance across all properties.

Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Aevum News, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, potential workarounds, and the process for receiving additional support or accommodation.
- Legacy Content: Some archived articles published before 2020 may not meet current WCAG standards due to older CMS templates. We are actively remediating older content. Workaround: Contact us using the details below for accessible formats.
