Disability in Media: Repicturing Representation

Description:

There are over 1 billion people in the world with a disability, but they are featured in less than 2% of the images we see in the media. When people with disabilities are featured, they are often negatively stereotyped or not appropriately represented.

In this panel, leading disability advocates and media companies join forces for a dynamic conversation on disability representation, and how repicturing stereotypes can holistically impact our society. The discussion will cover stereotypes to dispel, industry mishaps to avoid and lessons learned from the field. Join us for a discussion on what inclusive representation looks like and best practices for media and marketing professionals who want to authentically engage the disability community.
