This policy brief is based on recent research that found a general negative and sensationalised attitude towards disfigurement in the media.Dsfigurement is a condition that can affect anyone at any time in life regardless their social or demographic background due to accidents or health conditions or be congenital. In the UK, one in 111 people have facial disfigurements.In order to improve the ways in which media portray disfigurement, this policy brief argues that media should move away from sensationalised coverage on disfigurement and focus instead on the lived experiences of individuals with this condition. It recommends strengthening diversity-oriented editorial practices and training as well as media literacy education. In addition, it addresses the lack of guidelines on the portrayal of disfigurement and urges regulatory bodies to be more efficient in handling complaints." 410 0$aCAMRI policy briefs ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aFace$xAbnormalities$xSocial aspects 606 $aDisfigured persons$xSocial aspects 606 $aMass media$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 615 0$aFace$xAbnormalities$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDisfigured persons$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMass media$xLaw and legislation 676 $a343.41099 700 $aGarrisi$b Diana$0863669 702 $aJanciute$b Laima 702 $aJohanssen$b Jacob 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910282225803321 996 $aAppearance, discrimination and the media$91927731 997 $aUNINA
