OAJ 2026 Disability and Accessibility Survey

Dear journalists, thank you for taking a few moments to answer questions in the Organization for Accessible Journalism 2026 Survey. We hope to use this data to better understand the prevalence of people with disabilities and how accessibility is applied in the journalism industry. 

You do not need to identify as disable nor need to know anything about accessibility to take this survey. In fact, we encourage any and all journalists living and working in the U.S. to take this survey. Your answers are anonymous. 

If you have additional comments or thoughts, we'd love to hear them. We have left you an optional space at the end to write freely.

Thank you so much for your participation.
