[Art_beyond_sight_theory_and_research] Born Accessible Benetech - Google Impact Challange

[fnugg at online.no]

Hi,

Thought this could be of interest to us all. Benetech has a new 
initiative directed, I think, at publishers and other content

  Not up on history of universal design, but hope this is a more 
concerted effort directed directly at publishers.

Born Accessible
"The digital revolution and ongoing advances in technology have made it 
possible to get more content, in more ways, to more people. At the same 
time, they have also given publishers and content creators a new digital 
imperative—if content is “born digital,” it can—and should—be “born 
accessible.” ... "
