journalism

Although the political issues of people with disabilities rarely made the mainstream news until the 1990s, the people themselves have been in the news since American journalism began the practice of identifying sources by physical characteristics. The norms of journalism that developed by the early twentieth century meant that anyone who was not white or able-bodied would, in many cases, be identified by their ethnicity or disability.
