It's not every day that a story on accessibility hits CNN news. A group of major companies formed the Accessibility Interoperability Alliance (AIA).

An article asks How accessible are UK newspaper websites? and answers in a multi-part story. The reviews of eight major newspapers' web sites include: details about what each site did well and poorly, ratings from volunteer disabled users, comments from an accessibility professional, and responses from the newspaper.
