In December 2012, the New York Times quoted several deaf scientists, including this op-ed's co-author, in an article about new signs for specialized scientific terms, but rather than ask a deaf person to demonstrate the new signs on its website, it hired a hearing American Sign Language interpreter. When the New York Times covered Joshua George, a top-ranked wheelchair racer, the newspaper's accompanying video content showed him training on specialized equipment as he prepared for the Paralympic Games. It would have been absurdly insensitive to post a video of track and field star Usain Bolt demonstrating how Joshua George exercises. Why, then, is it acceptable to employ hearing people to showcase new technical signs that have been independently developed by deaf professionals?
