This article describes the history of closed captioning services (and the lack thereof) in America and how captions have become more accessible over time. Cartwright highlights the importance of providing easily-accessible captioning for deaf people by providing readers with anecdotes of deaf people’s experiences with not having accessible captioning and how culturally important it is to provide everyone with access to the media. Cartwright also mentions that captions are useful to many people, and that they are important for comprehension and connection to the media. This article would be useful to any instructor who wishes to bring attention to issues with the treatment and awareness of the deaf community, and would be especially relevant to ASL or other signed-language instructors.
