Deaf News

This is a really cool website for deaf people to watch about current events so they do not have to worry about closed captioning or reading English called Deaf Newspaper. It also has a place where people can see all the deaf events. If you know ASL you can help the website by signing for it. There are Pictures on the little drop down menu of the deaf events that he has gone to and reported about. There is also a cooking show on here.

What a lot of people do not know is that American Sign Language is not English in any way shape or form. It has its own grammar rules and writing style, called glossing. English is another language deaf people have to learn to “fit in,” because everything is written in English around them. Reading news in English is probably not the best or most sought after way to read the news. If I were deaf I would love to have a station with someone actually signing. This is sort of one, although it is online and not completely about the news.

I like how it has the deaf events listed on the sides so people can see what events are current and what they can go to all over the country to connect with other deaf people around the country. Deaf culture is a very unique culture and it is not spread very easily because they are a minority and are spread out over a lot of places around the world. It is developing differently in different parts of the country so that is why it is important for them to visit with and see people from all over. They can share signs and different aspects of their culture at these deaf events.  There are a lot of different deaf events within deaf communities as well and they are not all listed on this website. There are only events the person who runs the website is going to

There is also a cooking show on the website. There is a small little clip that introduces the cook and there are choices of different recopies to look at. I like it I think it is a cute little show it is not very important to see the signs for how to cook because they still have to be written down to follow them anyway. I like how they show this still.
