Make infographics accessible to those with low vision.
While I think it's great to have a visual element for Articles and Resources, namely the infographics, I think it's important to remember that there are users out there, around the world, who struggle with low vision, partial/complete blindness, or are unable to load images on their web browser for any reason.
With all of that being said, I want to encourage that, going forward, infographics have a text-only version. It's really not that challenging to do! Here's how I would do it: when the text is typed for the infographic, I'd copy/save it, and send it off to the publication editor or the appropriate staff member.
When the infographic goes online, there'll be that text accompanying it. It'll be accessible to those with the issues listed above because it can be 'translated' by a screen reader app.
