Go to Top of Page eSight's Site Accessibility Review This section of the online version of The New York Times is surprisingly accessible. Accessibility: Four Stars In the past, The New York Times site has had the unfortunate policy of using non-standard edit boxes in its forms. This has made it somewhat difficult to fill out its various search options and even its form for receiving a daily update of NYTimes.com. The search options on this page, however, are reasonably accessible -- even the extended search combo-boxes that often contain hundreds of job categories. Navigation: Four Stars Therefore, navigating around this site is considerably easier than it once was. The New York Times is to be commended for improving the accessibility and navigability of its site's job search section. Go to Top of Page
