Diagnoses

Here is how tools diagnose the image alt long issue for HTML element 334 of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists page.

1. <p><a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text#alt_link" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">The alt text on a linked image is used to describe the link destination</a>. Links should be brief, clear and concise, as screen reader users often listen to the list of links on the page to find content of interest. Long alternative text inside a link often indicates that the image's text alternative is describing the image instead rather than the link.</p> This image's alt text is: <em>SUMMIT, NJ - OCTOBER 2: A Merck flag flies in front of the company&#39;s building on October 2, 2013 in Summit, New Jersey. The pharmaceutical company Merck &amp; Co. announced today that it would cut 8,500 jobs and consolidate its real estate in Kenilworth, New Jersey instead of moving its headquarters to Summit as previously planned.</em>
