2023 Racial Reporting Convening | Pt. 3: Disability is the Canary in the Coal Mine (Lightning Talk)

“Disability is seen as a niche issue in the newsroom, despite disabled people
making up 26% of the working-age population in America and the largest minority in the world. No matter the beat, disabled people are always the most affected by failures in the system, and they are the least reported on.” - This is how it could look if more journalists investigated through a disability lens.
Panel: Lightning Talk: Disability is the Canary in the Coal Mine
Speakers:
Cara Reedy - Director, Disabled Journalists Association
Jen Deerinwater - Founding Executive Director, Crushing Colonialism
