- Abstract
The way how disabled individuals are represented in the local press is an important issue. When the way the news is presented to the society through visual and written media is considered, disabled individuals can also be in the position of victims in terms of the representation and rights just like children, women, different sexual and cultural identities. When it comes to disability, how and when the local press covers the news, how it reflects the issue to the public, and how the causeeffect relationship is achieved are of great importance in terms of the representation of disabled individuals. Due to the representations provided by the media, the perception of the society regarding people with disabilities may change in a positive way to increase awareness or negative way to reinforce prejudices. The purpose of this study is to examine the news about disabled individuals in the local press in the Western Thrace region of Greece. Within the scope of the study, the news of local newspapers which are thought to represent different views and have a high circulation published weekly in the Western Thrace Region of Greece from 2014 to 2020 on disabled individuals were scanned. Answers were sought for the questions on how often the news about the disabled took place in the press and what main issues about the disabled are presented in the news. The data obtained in line with the general purpose of the study will be obtained through content analysis and the relevant field will be discussed in the light of the literature.
