Abstract

La atención que prestan los medios de comunicación españoles a la audiencia con discapacidad continúa siendo limitada, en una sociedad donde el número de personas con discapacidad alcanza los 3,8 millones, lo que supone el 8,5% de la población. En este estudio se recogen las opiniones de siete profesionales de la comunicación que trabajan o han trabajado como directores, productores y/o presentadores de programas de televisión centrados en este público específico. A partir de entrevistas en profundidad, ofrecen una visión general del tratamiento mediático de la discapacidad, la sensibilización de las audiencias y el papel de los medios en relación a las minorías sociales. La muestra, a pesar de ser reducida, presenta un valor añadido: tres de las personas entrevistadas tienen una discapacidad, siendo sus opiniones especialmente relevantes por tratarse de la propia voz de un colectivo que es objeto de estudio. Se incluye, además, una radiografía de la programación televisiva española relacionada con la discapacidad. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la existencia de un mayor compromiso de los medios públicos, que apuestan por programar espacios que fomenten la normalización y la integración social de las personas con discapacidad, aunque se hace necesario una atención más continuada y menos episódica, y una mayor especialización periodística.

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants. Specifically participating libraries may: • Collect and preserve currently accessible materials; • Use material consistent with original license terms; • Provide copies to other LOCKSS appliances for purposes of audit and repair. Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
