More news interpreters welcomed<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): TVRI welcomes more applicants for news
\ninterpreters as the present four sign language interpreters for
\nthe daily newscasts are not enough.<\/p>\n
\"The interpreters we have, who already work in shifts, are
\nquite exhausted,\" Baruno, the head of the TVRI news section, said
\nrecently.<\/p>\n
\"We need at least ten more people,\" he said. \"Of course there
\nwill be sign language specialists to select them, but we will
\nalso take into account their performance in front of the camera.\"<\/p>\n
Since teachers of the Zinnia school for the hearing impaired
\nfirst appeared on television in April, Baruno has received
\nreports from Zinnia that students of other special schools are
\nvoicing \"jealousy\" over what they see as special exposure of
\nZinnia teachers.<\/p>\n
\"That is a misunderstanding, and quite natural, as this whole
\nthing of having interpreters for news is new,\" said Imas Gunawan,
\nthe head of the Zinnia school.<\/p>\n
A number of sign language teachers participated in a ten-day
\ncourse at the Ministry of Education and Culture in May, but Imas
\nsaid graduating from the course will not likely be a prerequisite
\nfor applying for news interpreting at TVRI. (anr)<\/p>",
