"This guide seeks to help journalists report on issues impacting people with disabilities in a way that is informed and without prejudice. It includes information on some of the various definitions of disability, important data and resources, and key issues for journalists to investigate. It also discusses how disability can differ between the medical world and the communities themselves and offers tips on how journalists can avoid getting tripped up on language, as well as tips on interview accessibility and finding the right sources."
