Summary/Abstract: The article sets out to describe the process of Sign Language Interpretation for the media based on the author’s personal experience on a regional Romanian television channel. We focus on the challenges the Sign Language Interpreter is faced with when interpreting for the media as well as on the difference between pre-recorded news interpretation and live talk-show interpretation as viewed from the perspective of Daniel Gile’s Effort Models. Feedback from the Deaf consumers and further directions for developing the interpretation services are also discussed.
