Media team grows

The media team has grown by 8 new members. We have taken the project into Warwickshire and now have our new members. All have been recruited through Aim4, in Nuneaton and will be taking part in an open day at Aim4, Nuneaton on Thursday 20th March. They will be hosting a Big Brother Style Diary Room for visitors, we want to find out what people think about media representation of learning disability. The team will also be encouraging people to look t our 2 blog sites, hopefully we will get more people talking to us. Finally, we will have a display stand and get people involved in a bit of myth busting.

Does the media treat people with learning disabilities with respect?

we want to know what you think about how the media shows people with learning disabilities-

is it with respect?

do you see people with learning disabilities on TV or in the papers enough?

should there be more actors with learning disabilities in soaps and dramas?

is it OK for actors to(act) pretend to have learning disabilities like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman?

What do you think of the language used by the media?

If you have anything to say about this why not do our quick survey?
