The news media is a vital global information source, evolving from physical newspapers to digital platforms. Technology has revolutionized dissemination, ensuring broader accessibility. The main goal of news is to provide significant information and raise public awareness about a wide range of issues, notably jobs, healthcare, governmental initiatives, and alerts about natural disasters. This study delves into the challenges faced by individuals with visual impairments when accessing e-news online. The paramount goal is to ensure unbridled access to news for everyone, despite barriers. In this paper, We undertake a web accessibility evaluation of the homepages of 12 Indian news websites under three conformance levels of the WCAG 2.0 recommendation using AChecker and the WAVE Tool. Our evaluation is grounded in quantifying accessibility barriers. In particular, We address issues related to web accessibility and highlight the adverse effects of pop-up advertisements and automatic video play on news websites. We propose a browser extension for ad-free summaries, enhancing the news experience for the visually impaired. Evaluation insights guide ad format decisions, optimizing characteristics and placements on websites.
