Diana Garrisi, Laima Janciute and Jacob Johanssen examine how news coverage represents people with facial disfigurement. Their short policy brief connects research on appearance and discrimination with the choices journalists make about language, images and the framing of stories.
The authors discuss the consequences of recurring portrayals and offer recommendations for reporting and media practice. The publication is written for journalists, editors and readers interested in the relationship between visible difference and public attitudes. This download contains the complete 2018 CAMRI Policy Brief, including its research discussion, recommendations and references.
