Navigating using a Screen Reader

Alt 1 launches a menu intended for the visually impaired using screen readers to help you navigate the site. It also turns the Cascading Menus OFF so there are fewer links.

Alt 3 jumps to the Click-2-Listen icon of the first story in the current podcast.

Alt 4 jumps to the previous page of stories in the current podcast

Alt 5 jumps to the next page of stories in the current podcast

Alt 6 jumps to the previous page of related podcasts

Alt 7 jumps to the next page of related podcasts

By default, Firefox uses Shift Alt, as opposed to Alt.

NewsworthyAudio takes advantage of heading levels. Heading level ones jump you to the main panels. Each may have different sub-heading levels.

Many level heading one sections contain one or more heading level five sections with detailed information about that heading level one section.
