As a dedicated family historian researching my
ancestry, I purchase a popular magazine called 'Your
Family Tree'.
In the last issue, they accidentally printed some of their articles in a pale font on a pale background and made it difficult for vision impaired people to read or 'those with poor eyesight' as they described.
Nice to see that not only have they apologized publicly but they have made an accessible downloadable version in a pdf for people who can access the Internet.
Congratulations to the Editor for apologizing and avoiding a potential DDA claim from it's readers. Perhaps others publications could take note... I''m off to have a read.

(Apart from to publish this I had to answer a maths question which many disabled people would find difficult should they have a cognitive impairment)
