This webinar aims to:

  • analyse how media narratives about disability in sport are produced and maintained;
  • explore the role of journalists, sports governing bodies, advocates and athletes in shaping media representation;
  • highlight the experiences of journalists and athletes with disabilities in relation to media visibility and operations;
  • identify practical pathways towards more ethical, inclusive and athlete-centred media practices;
  • develop concrete recommendations for media professionals and sports organisations.

Based on the webinar discussions, a short set of practical recommendations will be identified and published on this webpage.
