Engaging for more representative media

Hello, I’m Eryn, a French student! I’m in the British section of my international school so I have a World Issues exam at the end of the year. I chose as the topic of my oral the public image of disabled persons in Britain. Through my research, I discovered how inaccurate and therefore detrimental persons with a disability’s image is.

For this reason, I carry the project of shedding light on the inaccuracies of the public image of persons with disabilities as well as exposing achievable solutions to improve it . And to achieve this, I need your help!

So would anyone in Britain with a job involved with the production of media (e.g.editor, journalist,artist,…) engage in an email exchange with me? It’s only about answering a few questions or directing me toward helpful documents.

I would also really appreciate it if people living in Britain (therefore exposed to British media) could answer a quick survey (only 5 questions).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Eryn, I’ll take a deeper look at this and follow up with you. You might be interested in the BBC Thematic Review of Representation that was released last week:
