MinnPost - The Uptake gets deaf commission's award for captioning debates
The Uptake, the group that live-streams all kinds of political events, was honored today by the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans during a rally at the Capitol.
The Uptake received the group's Accessible News Outlet Media Excellence. The commission said: "The Uptake was the only media outlet that covered candidates’ captioning of ads during the 2010 campaign. This resulted in more candidates complying with the state candidate captioning law. The Uptake also voluntarily captioned every gubernatorial debate online."
The Uptake live-streamed the commission's rally today, at which many other awards were given, too.
