Kim Bellware, reporting for The Washington Post, about how the Biden administration is making the once-again-daily press briefing more accessible:

Traditional broadcasts of the news briefings often have closed captions, but Weinstock noted that captions and ASL aren’t equivalent access; closed captions can’t capture the full range of information — and they’re not always accurate.

“If a person’s not familiar with that name, then the person typing out captions or hearing the name might not type it out correctly,” Weinstock said.

“The ASL rendition of the spoken English is more faithful, and more conceptually accurate in many cases than the captions.”
