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

di Indonesia(Pocket Guide to

Reporting Disability in Indonesia), 2014

‘Stop dan renungkan: Sebagai seorang wartawan, Anda dapat membantu mempengaruhi pandangan dan opini publik sehingga penyandang disabilitas dapat menikmati hak yang sama untuk berpartisipasi dalam semua sektor masyarakat seperti halnya warga negara yang lain. Melalui peliputan, Anda dapat mendukung hak-hak penyandang disabilitas.’

[Translation: ‘Stop and consider: As a journalist you can help influence public opinion and views so that people with disabilities enjoy the same right to participate in all sectors of society as other citizens. Through your reporting you can support the rights model of disability.’]
