Estonian Public Broadcasting Offers News in Sign Language

Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) has begun offering news in Estonian sign language, making information more accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. This step increases the availability of media content for people with special needs.

Estonian Public Broadcasting (ERR) has taken an important step towards inclusive media by offering news in Estonian sign language. This service is primarily intended for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, who have previously found it more difficult to keep up with mainstream media.

Sign-language news makes important information accessible to a broader audience and ensures that people with special needs do not miss out on vital information. Estonian sign language is an independent language with its own grammar and vocabulary.

Such initiatives align with Estonia's efforts to make public services accessible to everyone and to ensure that people with special needs can participate fully in society.
