Abstract: This article unpacks an online news program in American Sign Language (ASL), The Daily Moth, to demonstrate how the program's Deaf creator (Alex Abenchuchan) and cohosts disseminate information about technology, science, legal rights, accessibility, and related issues in ways that illuminate our field of technical communication's commitment to making information clear and accessible. I analyze this program to show academics in technical communication how we can embed accessible communication design more deeply into research practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
