Disability
Now, along with the National Union of Journalists have produced a booklet
that they hope will be the industry standard guide for writing and speaking
about disabled people. How
many of you have been “hacked off” by the terms “wheelchair bound”,
“the deaf”, “the blind” or “the disabled”?
The guide, backed by minister Maria Eagle, is also calling for the
number of disabled journalists employed by media organisations to be
increased.
The
guide can be downloaded from www.disabilitynow.org.uk/campaigns/hackedoff/index.htm
