Media Representation of Persons with Disabilities (with subtitles) I UNESCO Master Class Video 1

How we talk about disability matters because the media has a major impact on public perception and is important in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in society.

Video #1 of UNESCO Master Class on Disability Equality in the Media focuses on how disability has been portrayed and how to develop an editorial plan for inclusive, fair, and relevant coverage of disability.

The Master Class Video Series on Disability Equality in the Media, hosted by Sophie Morgan, is a global initiative launched by UNESCO to strengthen the capacity of media organizations to integrate the principles of diversity, inclusion and accessibility into editorial policies and media programming, content production, and management practices.

Let’s together remove barriers for audiences with disabilities!
