Accessibility in Government and higher education media communications, such as captions, transcription, and audio description, co-creates an inclusive communication media environment. Incorporating these accessibility features is a legal requirement and a moral imperative for government agencies and higher education institutions.

In a landmark move that promises to reshape the digital landscape for millions of Americans with disabilities, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a final rule updating Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At its core, the new rule mandates that state and local governments must make their websites and mobile applications accessible to individuals with disabilities. This update addresses a long-standing gap in the ADA, providing much-needed clarity on digital accessibility requirements.
