Creación de un periódico digital en la plataforma Facebook dirigido a personas con discapacidad auditiva y analfabetismo del cantón Babahoyo

Abstract

Disability, far from its technical concept, is a historical-social phenomenon with uneven progress. Initially, people with disabilities were persecuted, banned, belittled through derogatory language and physical actions. That is why many scholars on the subject have dedicated a large part of their studies or research to the creation and innovation of new support technologies, with the aim of entering and involving people with disabilities in society. As a good practice among the social networks of institutions focused on the help and inclusion of people with disabilities, the use of mechanisms to keep this community of people informed is highlighted, either through videos or interpretations of relevant news adapted to their disability. The challenge of the proposal is to create a digital newspaper on the Facebook digital platform, which will be linked directly from the website of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Babahoyo canton, allowing the generation of access to its management information and, in turn, a literacy campaign for the Sign language, managing to capture the attention of people with hearing disabilities who have access to digital media. In this work, the methodology to be used will be qualitative since the basic characteristics of qualitative studies can be summarized in that they are investigations focused on the subjects, which adopt the emic perspective (description of the fact from the perspective of its agents) or from within the phenomenon to be studied comprehensively or completely. The scope of this study will be inductive and the researcher interacts with the participants and with the data, seeks answers to questions that focus on social experience, how it is created and how it gives meaning to human life.
