A communication platform for people with visual and hearing disabilities is proposed by Elizaveta Striga, Associate Professor of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communications at the Institute of Publishing and Journalism. Her project received a grant named after V.E. Fortov.

The researcher's scientific interests are concentrated around the issues of media representation of social topics and values that are relevant for the development of Russian society. Elizaveta Striga has over 15 years of practical experience in journalism. She has twice become a laureate of the Crystal Arrow competition for young journalists. At the university, she teaches the disciplines "Fundamentals of Journalism", "Technologies of Work in Socio-Political Journalism", "Professional Ethics of a Journalist".

The topic of Elizaveta Striga's research project is "Problems of Overcoming Digital Inequality: Creating a Communication Platform for People with Visual and Hearing Disabilities." The main idea is to draw up a technical assignment for creating a communication platform for people with visual and hearing disabilities based on the humanitarian research that the researcher is conducting within the framework of the grant.

“The application of media by the deaf and hard of hearing people in Russia today is a serious and practically unstudied problem. Communication between people with visual and hearing disabilities in real life is difficult. In social media, it is much easier for them to communicate. Moreover, in the modern world obtaining information via the Internet for such people is a primary task. However, today the communication platform for people with visual and hearing disabilities, which would meet all the challenges of our time, does not exist,” – notes Elizaveta Striga.
