There's a lot of #ableism floating on Twitter at the moment, especially within the journalistic space so I wanted to take the time to highlight #Disabled journalists whose work I admire, Focus on the UK because otherwise I'll burn out! Please add yours! /1
First up! @DrFrancesRyan Frances writes about disability and austerity among many other things. Her book #Crippled "reminds us what real investigative journalism looks like" and her work constantly holds powerful people to account and raises the voices of marginalised groups. /2
@johnpringdns editor/founder of Disability News Service, who brought in-depth reporting on disability, particularly discrimination and inequality when there was very little in that space. DNS continues to do this, even as funding from disability orgs dries up due to cuts. /3
Later than I hoped to getting to ‘Getting the stat on with Hatton’. Presented by Jack and Not Jack. 🤣
Wow. What an hour. Some tasty nuggets to tempt a listen... [should be part of a range of undergraduate health, social care/science courses.]
Spreadsheets, stats, self advocacy, fear, @Saba_Salman, @DrFrancesRyan, intersectionality, #JusticeforLB, activism and academia, and zoom savviness...
