Questions and topics
Increasingly, global advertisers are aiming to ensure that their advertising communications are more accessible - this includes TV and video. A year after our original survey on this topic, this update aims to examine where egta members are on the road to meeting this demand. This survey looks at how members approach accessibility not on content but on TV advertising and the kinds of access services they are able to offer.Full list of questions
Questions included in the survey:
- In your market, is there any current or future legislation that requires you to make TV advertising more accessible to people with vision / hearing impairments, or other disabilities?
