Improving disability representations in the media is vital to improving the social position of people with disability, and including people with lived experience of disability is integral to this process. While the media industry has changed significantly as a result of digital and participatory media, discriminatory attitudes around fear and pity continue to impact whether people with disability find work in the media. The book demonstrates no significant changes in attitudes towards employing disabled media workers since the 1990s when the last major research into this topic took place. By focusing on the \u003ci\u003eemployment\u003c\/i\u003e of people with disability in media industries, Katie Ellis addresses a neglected area of media diversity, appealing to researchers in media and cultural studies as well as critical disability studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie Ellis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137603437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137603432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Katie Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087685202175,"sku":"9781137603432","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c35b591c-7e23-4ffe-8d9f-ac07712f28f0.jpg?v=1769100829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-media-work-katie-ellis-9781137603432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
