This policy brief is based on recent research that found a general negative and sensationalised attitude towards disfigurement in the media. Disfigurement 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." 606 $aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Media Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / People With Disabilities$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social 615 7$aSocial Science / Media Studies 615 7$aSocial Science / People With Disabilities 615 0$aSocial sciences. 700 $aGarrisi$b Diana$0863669 702 $aJanciute$b Laima 702 $aJohanssen$b Jacob 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910976773303321 996 $aAppearance, discrimination and the media$91927731 997 $aUNINA
