Deaf News / Culture

• http://www.deafnewspaper.com/   This is a great resource for those wanting to know more about what the Deaf culture and community is like.  The videos are short and fun to watch, but they may be difficult for you to understand at first.  Just keep watching and see if you can’t decipher more signs as class progresses. The participants on these videos come from all different backgrounds and regions, so you may also notice some different signing styles in some videos (ASL / PSE / SEE).
• http://www.joeybaer.com/ This site, like deafnewspaper, contains videos about Deaf culture/ community but tends to focus on more serious issues. This may be tough for you to understand at first, but you will find more ASL here than at deafnewspaper. This is an excellent site, however, and as your signing and receptive skills improve the content and information on this site is excellent knowledge to have.
• http://www.deafblogs.net/ This site will help you navigate among the many ‘Deaf blogs’ posted on the web. If you look on the main page you will find lists of different blogs written  by Deaf people on issues that affect the community. Most of these blogs are written, but you may also find some ‘Vlogs’ which are videotaped and use sign language.
