history to media innovation by people with
disabilities & many exciting things happening
now

transformations of disability;
• How does media portray disability, now? How
does this work in different societies (e.g.
Australia, Indonesia)?

disability stereotypes in the media?

especially social, online, mobile media – in the

5. Media & disability
• media shapes social attitudes
• many problems with images & representation
of disability in media – medical & charity
framing is still dominant [‘model medis’
disabilitas BUKAN ‘model sosial’]
• Lack of diverse/different representations of
people with disabilities & disability in general
