News View Alt Text

In the News view, the image field default setting links the image to content, in this case the news article. Images without alt text result in an empty link, leaving assistive technology users without the link destination read to them as it should be. To avoid manually adding alt text to news images, adjust the image field in the news view. The news title also links to the article, so this will also remove a redundant link.
