FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong>
\nTexas School for the Deaf Receives Highly Respected<\/strong>
\nBarbara Jordan Media Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

(AUSTIN) \u2013 Texas School for the Deaf\u2019s (TSD) 2019-2020 annual report has been selected for a Barbara Jordan Media Award by the Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities (GCPD).<\/p>\n

The GCPD\u2019s Barbara Jordan Media Awards program focuses on accurate and positive reporting on individuals with disabilities, using people first language and respectful depictions. A panel, including media professionals and people with disabilities, collectively score and select nominations in various categories including print feature, print pews, and photojournalism.<\/p>\n

Shawn Saladin, TSD Governing Board Vice President who once served on the GCPD, says \u201cthis is an extreme honor for TSD.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known as a remarkable orator who broke barriers and built bridges, the Barbara Jordan Media Awards are named in honor of the Houston native and U.S. congresswoman who gained recognition and a place of honor in history.<\/p>\n

TSD Superintendent, Claire Bugen, says \u201cwe aim to showcase what deaf students can achieve with a community focused on their abilities rather than their disabilities, and we are proud this achievement has been recognized.\u201d<\/p>\n

GCPD and the Texas A&M University Department of Communication, Journalism Studies created a virtual awards program to honor the winners and highlight their outstanding work.<\/p>\n
