    The selection and framing of stories about disability and people with disabilities by the media may shape public views about disabled people. To examine this theory a database of Australian newspapers was searched from January 2004 to December 2005 on the major terms impairment, disability, and handicap, and specific disability descriptors such as deaf, blind, and physically and intellectually impaired.

Implications for representation of people with disabilities and for journalism education are considered.
