Consumer review website features rigorously
tested adaptive and accessible product recommendations for
consumers with disabilities
Reviewed, a consumer product review website, part of Gannett
Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) and the USA TODAY NETWORK launched a
dedicated Accessibility category, focused on providing in-depth
product insights for adaptive products, assistive technology, and
accessible design for people with disabilities and their
caregivers. This newly expanded section with continuous coverage
represents necessary progress for the industry and enables Reviewed
to reach a historically underserved audience.
With over one billion people globally living with a disability,
accounting for roughly 15% of the global population1, Reviewed’s
accessibility coverage aims to take the stress out of product
research for consumers with disabilities who often rely on
word-of-mouth recommendations and adapt everyday products to fit
their specific needs.
Reviewed Accessibility Editor Sarah Kovac, an award-winning
author and speaker living with dexterity issues caused by
arthrogryposis, will help lead this first-of-its-kind section.
Sarah is a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for accessibility
given her personal experience, and this category will also serve as
a platform to amplify voices from the disabled community.
“I’m proud to see Reviewed recognizing the need to provide
increased coverage around accessibility products, filling a void I
and other consumers with disabilities have always felt existed,”
said Kovac. “A good accessibility product can be the difference
between independence and relying on others to survive. I’ve lived
it, and so have the contributors on my team, which instills a
collective passion that drives our coverage and hopefully emboldens
members of our community.”
Reviewed’s Accessibility section will also include product
recommendations and insights for consumers who are aging in place
and those who care for them.
“We’re seeing more brands than ever looking to break into the
accessibility category and we expect this year to be full of
products aimed at a broad set of consumers with disabilities,” said
Reviewed Editor in Chief David Kender. “Here at Reviewed, we look
forward to serving this community with our expanded accessibility
coverage and hope it inspires others.”
Since 1997, Reviewed has been committed to applying a
scientific, lab-based approach to its product testing and review
processes. With an expansive testing facility in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and over 100 writers, scientists, product experts,
editors and contributors, the Reviewed team performs hands-on
testing on thousands of products each year to provide readers with
the most trusted, informed recommendations.
Reviewed’s Accessibility section represents Gannett’s continued
commitment to significantly investing in diversity, equity, and
inclusion efforts, from the coverage it reports to the newsrooms
behind it.
