 28/1/05 - Hacked Off

<back>

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
