In 2020 I wrote about the (quite bad) state of the dataviz accessibility of the US presidential result dashboards. Norway had elections this week, so you know what that means...

📣😎 I finally wrote something again! Good, bad, and interesting examples of the state of dataviz accessibility in the Norwegian media:

Dataviz accessibility review: what we can learn from the Norwegian 2023 election graphs by Sarah L. Fossheim

Now that Norway had its local elections, it's time for a closer look at the dataviz accessibility of the graphs used in the Norwegian media. Earlier this week the Norwegian news NRK reported that none of the Norwegian municipalities were conforming to web accessibility requirements, so I was definitely curious how the different charts would perform.

the tech and design community in oslo is quite small, hope I won't get permanently banned from it for this 🫣

@fossheim As someone who’s been working on adjacent projects, thanks so much for this! I’ve made sure your feedback was seen by the right people and I’ll keep nagging my coworkers to test their stuff with a screen reader.

@pb happy to hear it was useful (and good that you're pushing for accessibility testing) 🙌🏻
