Accessibility & licensing
The Corridor is committed to providing analytical content that is accessible to all readers and freely citable by other publications. This page outlines our accessibility standards and the Creative Commons licensing under which our content is published.
Accessibility commitments
The Corridor is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. Specifically:
Semantic HTML. All pages use proper heading hierarchy, semantic landmarks, and ARIA labels where additional context is required. Screen readers can navigate the publication using its document structure.
Keyboard navigation. All interactive elements are reachable by keyboard. A skip-to-content link appears at the top of every page for users navigating with keyboards or screen readers.
Colour contrast. All text meets or exceeds WCAG AA contrast ratios. The publication's accent red (#B30000) on white background provides 9.7:1 contrast, well above the required 4.5:1 for body text.
Typography. Body text is set at 18px minimum on article pages, with line height of 1.65 for readability. Text reflows responsively on all screen sizes without loss of content or function.
Image alternatives. All images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as such for assistive technology.
Reporting issues. Readers who encounter accessibility barriers can email the editorial desk. We treat accessibility issues with the same urgency as factual corrections.

ShareAlike. If material is remixed, transformed or built upon, the resulting work must be distributed under the same license.
