S1 Ep 3: The Language Of How To Report Disability With Hannah Shewan Stevens 🔥

<p>Hannah Shewan Stevens is a freelance journalist who has written for places including Refinery 29, Digital Spy, The Breakdown and Bustle. Hannah is also a sex columnist for The Unwritten, and also writes regularly for EachOther. Hannah recently hosted an event in connection with Journo Resources that centred round how to report disability without being patronising or using tokenistic tropes, all the while maintaining accuracy and other such standards in reporting. The language of how to report about disability is a conversation that needs to be had, and this episode serves to start it. We cover the three quick things you can change in your copy, why disability is not just a one size fits all monolithic story idea when it comes to the newsroom, the need for better representation, working from home, accommodations and more.&nbsp;👊&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>EDITORS NOTE: each podcast guest uses the language of their own preference, and they are not restricted in doing so. This does not necessarily reflect the stance of The Disability Collab.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Contextual resources and articles referenced in this episode:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Hannah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hannahshewans&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Hannah's column for The Unwritten: https://www.theunwritten.co.uk/author/hannah-shewan-stevens/&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Izzie for The Huffington Post on shielding: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cystic-fibrosis-coronavirus_uk_600e0a68c5b6a0d83a1c766c&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>5 Women Who’ve Been Shielding Inside For A Year: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/covid-shielding&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Why It's Time To Close The Disability Employment Gap: https://metro.co.uk/2021/07/17/in-focus-why-its-time-to-close-the-disability-employment-gap-14798999/&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Disabled People's Employment Are Being Affected By Inequalities: https://eachother.org.uk/disabled-peoples-employment-are-being-affected-by-inequalities/&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>How Disabled People Created Communities In The Pande
