An Assesment of the 'Image of Disability' in the National Press in terms of Social Model

Year 2016, Volume: 40 Issue: 2, 1 - 26, 15.12.2016

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the
image of disability in national press in terms of social model. This study was
conducted with a qualitative method. In the study, four newspapers in Turkey
were selected with purposive sampling method and scanned for the news reports
about people with disability between the years 2005-2010. The data which were collected
in the scope of document examination were resolved with content analysis. By
analyzing the content, 11 main themes and 42 sub-themes were put forward.
Accounts of percentage and frequency of the news reports that were distributed
to the themes were studied as well. When the distribution of 1420 news reports
about people with disability to the years is considered, it is revealed that
the news flow is the most in Sabah and the least in Cumhuriyet newspaper. When
the distribution and the intensity of the news to the themes are considered, a
viewpoint that is far from a social model concept of disability can be
discussed.
