Ken Davis, the CEO and founder, established DeafNewspaper LLC in 2002. Eventually a website was established. and the first vlog was made on August 04, 2009. It was about www.aspencamp.org. The websit es growing nicely. News vlogs are being shown on every Tuesdays and Saturdays.
As I continued watching more vlogs, I couldn't help but notice that Ken Davis is always cheerful and jolly. I bet if he grows a bigger beard and gains some more weight, he'll make an excellent Deaf Santa Claus. Lol.
Anyway, I see his vlogs / reports cover everyday news in the Deaf community. They cover everything from sports cars to scams to camping to marriages to McDonald's. You will never know what will be next on the news. That's cool. Here are few to start with: Vlog 1 (Tax) and Vlog 2 (Valentine) I wonder if DeafNewspaper will expand to the point where it can do new vlogs everyday? That means we will need more Deaf reporters all over the USA. Anyone want to help out?
However, I did not like the design of the website. It is literally covered with ads. The menu toolbar is made in flash. That's a bad idea due to accessibility and usability reasons. Also I noticed iframe is being used. That's generally frowned upon. I think a make-over look will help the company grow even more.
Moving on... It looks like it sponsors 2 other websites; http://www.aslvlogs.com/ and http://www.aslsilentchef.com/. Mhmm.. Here's a thought, Michi Demarrais of ASLSilentChef could help Ken Davis become Santa Claus...Her foods look delicious though!
There's www.ideafnews.com which is really an upcoming website that has been exhibiting great potential.
