Making Video Content Accessible (with subtitles) I UNESCO Master Class Video 5

Television is an important medium for communicating information rapidly to large audiences. Moving images are sometimes better for storytelling, and persons with certain disabilities can absorb information through body language, facial expressions, and other visual cues. However, video content rarely meets accessibility standards. How can the media make it more accessible to persons with disabilities?
Video #5 of UNESCO Master Class on Disability Equality in the Media presents practical recommendations on how to use existing accessibility tools and practices to make video content more accessible to their audiences with disabilities. The lesson introduces closed captioning and subtitling, use of multiple languages, program guides, legible fonts, and high contrast colors, including in emergency contexts.
The Master Class Video Series on Disability Equality in the Media, hosted by Sophie Morgan, is a global initiative launched by UNESCO to strengthen the capacity of media organizations to integrate the principles of diversity, inclusion and accessibility into editorial policies and media programming, content production, and management practices.
Let’s together remove barriers for persons with disabilities!
