Acessibilidade em portais de notícias da região Centro-Oeste : um olhar para os veículos Goiás24horas, Hora Brasília, Jornal Midiamax e Olhar Direto

Abstract

Law Nº. 10.098/2000 requires the implementation of accessibility on websites as mandatory in Brazil. However, recent research has shown that this requirement is not actually implemented, as shown by the survey by the company BigData Corp, in which less than 3% of Brazilian websites were considered fully accessible. Thus, this study aims to identify the level of accessibility on the pages of the following websites belonging to the Central-West region of Brazil: Goiás24Horas (GO), Hora Brasília (DF), Midiamax (MS) and Olhar Direto (MT). To this end, a qualitative approach is used based on multiple case studies, using the website AccessMonitor to analyze the level of accessibility on the chosen websites. The results indicate that the websites have flaws in terms of implementing accessibility on their pages. Thus, it was concluded that the newspapers analyzed, instead of contributing to communicative citizenship, in many cases encourage a culture of discrimination against PcDs by normalizing the unequal access and participation of this group in society.
