As Guyana works to implement the Persons with Disabilities Act, the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) has announced that it will be moving to require television stations to provide either a sign language inset or subtitles in at least one newscast daily, and for special programmes covering events of national significance.
This requirement will see broadcasters fulfilling the mandate of Section 26 of the Act, with calls for such measures to be implemented “within ten years of the coming into operation of the act or a later date that the minister may prescribe.”
