[Athen] Job description for creating alternate descriptions

[chagnon at pubcom.com]

We suggest our clients call the position an "Accessibility Editor."

One of the tasks is writing Alt-text for graphics, but other tasks include:

*	Writing Metadata / File Properties (the Subject/Description is very
important).
*	Writing Captions and Summaries when appropriate.
*	Maintaining the hierarchy of heading levels throughout the document.
*	Maintaining clear, plain language.
*	Ensuring a logical reading order.

Subject: [Athen] Job description for creating alternate descriptions

 

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well.  I'm looking for an example of a job
description for someone who would create alternate descriptions for images.
If you have one, please share.  Also any resources you can point me to where
I might find examples would be greatly appreciated.

 

Alice
