[Athen] funding video captioning

[Emily Griffin]

An accessibility rep from George Mason University did a fantastic webinar
with 3Play Media recently, and he addressed the question of how to
prioritize what gets captioned. Read his answer or watch the whole webinar
here:

Also, we published a whitepaper about different sources of funding to cover
captioning costs, if you're interested:
