Deaf sign language users across Europe are increasingly aware of their right to access news and information in their national sign language and to form their own opinions based on this access. The fourth deliverable provides an overview of the key findings from previous academic research regarding news consumption, the comprehensibility of news available in sign language, and the preferences of deaf signers. Based on the results of surveys distributed by the Deaf Journalism Europe project consortium in six participating European countries, a set of government recommendations has been formulated. Furthermore, an accompanying lobbying plan has been developed for various stakeholders.

Watch the interview with Jorn Rijckaert, in which he provides a summary of the fourth deliverable in International Sign.
