Are the Deaf Well Represented In Today’s Media?

How often do we see deaf people in the media today?

Pretty seldom, isn’t it?

And when we do see deaf people represented in the media, does the media accurately display who the deaf individuals are and their views -- just like anyone else?

That is, without using patronizing terms like “overcoming” and “inspiring” or without negative terms such as “afflicted with” and “suffering from”, etc?
