A very a11y 2026 Some possible ways we can make this year-in-journalism a little more accessible

Inspired by this initial post, I wrote up my own hopes for what the new year could bring in terms of journalism and accessibility. The great @stacykess.bsky.social of @equalaccesspublicmedia.org published this in @the-word.news.

Great to have our summer intern Hanna Medler on the morning shift with us this past week. She’s going into her last semester studying atmospheric science at University of Georgia. You’ll see her with the rest of the Maine’s Total Weather team through July. #meteorology #amnewsers #maine

Total Lunar Eclipse watch. Actually we are always up at this time. #AMnewsers

where are my #AMNewsers here on #BlueSky? good morning loves!⛈️☔

I have officially deactivated my Twitter account. I originally created my account on Jan 25, 2007. I found love, and a community of fellow TV directors, in #amnewsers. But since October of 2022 it just hasn't been the same. Musk ruined it. I downloaded my data and got the eff out of there.

Had a wonderful time having lunch (or early dinner for us #amnewsers) today with the awesome @JerrySteffen. The pizza at @mymidici was delicious and beer always pairs well it. Cheers!

Thank you @SamanthaCortese for the hot chocolate this morning. It was also very nice meeting you as well. #amnewsers

Chinese TV employs robot as weather reporter; anchors worried http://m.economictimes.com/articleshow/50308175.cms #wx @OHnewsroom #amnewsers

How did I ever sleep without earplugs, a sleep mask, a white noise machine, a window A/C unit, a ceiling fan and melatonin? #amnewsers

I think I just caught an intern taking newsroom selfies #AMNewsers 

When's the last time you got eight straight hours of sleep? I think I was in college, maybe? #amnewsers

Mine is the only job where you can miss happy hour by accidentally arriving before it starts. #AMNewsers 

Snowy live shot in Seven Corners, VA this morning... #amnewsers #VAwx #VAsnow

Thanks to @shoppers in Woodbridge for the free coffee and doughnuts this AM while covering storm preps! #amnewsers

The goofy things us #AMNewsers do for live shots... // @nicoleducouer: Reporter smacked to the ground. #ouch

Ok... Still watching #Debate2012, but it's time for bed, so no more tweeting. #AMnewsers

Live truck AND camera issues. Aaarrrgh. #AmNewsers

Ugh. Generator hits really annoy me. Especially when it shuts down all racks less than a minute before a live shot. #ItHappens #AMNewsers

Perk of vacation: Getting a full night's sleep in one shot. #AMNewsers

Just got word my Monday will start 30 minutes earlier. 3am. Snow coverage. Not surprised. #AMNewsers
