From Saturday, August 23rd...
TRANSCRIPT
Leah Katz-Hernandez: Hello. We are now at a media party. This is supposedly one of the best events of the whole week. For the entire DNC hoopla, there will be over a hundred different events in Denver. And here's the Media party -- meaning that different media people like newspaper reporters, TV reporters, anchormen, even bloggers get to come her and mingle. We have press credentials like this; it's basically for access to events. Like, in Pepsi Center -- you will be able to enter in specific areas with this credential. And I came here to meet other reporters so I'm giving them business cards like this. I explain to them about the deaf people, give them exposure on our blog -- I really want to show that deaf people are great! Hopefully they will go look and get more awareness of us the deaf people. Thank you and it's a fun event so take a look around!
This blog's purpose is to give both the deaf and hearing community a unique perspective on the political process of America. Everything will be through deaf eyes and all entries will be tailored for both the deaf and hearing readers with bilingual ASL/English postings. Vlogs will be posted often with transcripts.
Leah, that is wonderful that your group is helping people be more aware of our existence as deaf people. Perhaps your group should decide on a few specific questions to ask important people - the same ones of whatever are the hot issues then you get a good sampling of the current trends of people's way of thinking today. Good luck!
