Disabling imagery and the media: Media Representation of disabled people

Keywords: International, Western Europe, English, disabilities, media, study, report.

This study by the British Council of Organisations of Disabled People focuses on the stereotypical portrayals in the UK media of people with disabilities, and provides recommendations to prevent these misrepresentations. One of study’s major concerns is the way charities represent the disabled, but it also examines other aspects of the media, such as books, films, television, radio and the press.
