Accurate Information
In times of crises when rumors are rampant, having a credible space for the offering of accurate and timely information is important.
Real-time and Synchronous
Those hosting the site also need awareness that people are accessing the information in real-time and synchronously, so that means a need for constant and accurate updates.
A Variety of Audience Members and Stakeholders
Also, there will be a number of visitors to the site with different needs and motives. Understanding their various (and sometimes competing) needs is a critical aspect of providing the proper information (with the proper tone) and services.
Widescale Accessibility
Providing information quickly and accurately, and services, too, will require the provision of accessibility supports. Often, this may well involve a lag given that the information may go out faster than the transcripting and alt-texting. However, the accessibility piece will also be critical.
