WORLD’S BEST CAPTIONING TEAM!
The
Georgia Association for the Deaf at
its 49th
Biennial Conference
Award Banquet in July of presented
its first-ever Station of the Year
Award for the Best Closed Captioning
and commitment to the
hearing-impaired community. Stations
did not submit entries for this
honor but were independently
evaluated and nominated by the
caption consumer community
statewide.
WAGA/Fox5
Atlanta won the “Outstanding
Captioned Television News” trophy
(all Georgia markets) for the Best
Captions. WAGA has been captioned
for more than 12 years by EduCaption,
a smaller Atlanta-based company
which not only provides Captioning
services, but is a national leader
in training realtime captioners and
court reporters to provide
communication access realtime
translation [CART].
The
award was accepted on behalf of WAGA
by Karen Graham, the weekend sports
anchor, who is a deaf advocate in
her own right. Ms. Graham started
sign language classes a little over
two years ago (no deafness in her
family... just thought it was a
beautiful language and a "calling"
for her), and she is such a natural
that she is a fluent signer and
interprets for her church. She was
moved to tears by the award, and
acknowledged that the whole news
operation was thrilled to receive
such recognition.
It
may not be an award that’s
traditionally trumpeted in the
television business but it’s
certainly one that elevates an
underappreciated effort. It also
makes a wonderful addition to WAGA’s
awards for their ongoing community
service.
EduCaption is proud to serve its
clients with the finest team of
captioners in the business --
well-known for their consistent hard
work, their dedication and
professionalism as well as their
amazing kindness as human beings.
Did we mention their awesome talent?
