The National Center on Disability and Journalism at Arizona State University is partnering with the Zero Project, a non-profit disability rights organization based in Vienna, Austria, for a virtual discussion about how disability - and people with disabilities - are covered in the media, both in the U.S. and other countries.
The Cronkite School is actively assessing how we can best serve and reflect the communities we cover and the students we teach.
The nonprofit National Center for Disability and Journalism will serve as a training partner to the fellows and other members of The New York Times newsroom.
The events of the past few weeks have prompted deep reflection within the Cronkite School of how to ensure that all students are supported and heard. We will strive to address student concerns immediately, substantively and effectively.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration toward the shared goal of a more diverse and inclusive journalism industry.
