Sign language to be used first time on TV news

The pilot project will be launched on NBC TV, an initiative of the Department for Community Development, Youth and Religion (DFCDYR).

It is anticipated that the sign language can be utilised using all forms of media, with support from the government and donor partners.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on Monday between DFCDYR and NBC.

DFCDYR, in partnership with the National Gaming and Control Board, through the O’Neill/Dion government, has allocated funds to cater for the sign language specialists to appear on TV news time.
