Guidelines for news reporting and disabilities

I just finished reading the "Covering Diability Issues" article.

It's true, when most reporters think of diversity, they think: race, gender, sexuality.. But disabilities account for the majority of diversity today. Disabilities can come as more of a story than what's usually thought of.

Disabilities come across many ways. Mental and physical disabilities are the most common to the average person. When I think of a person with disabilities I'm not intimidated. Many people are, as it can be a scary experience. I'm very fortunate in that I have not experienced any type of traumatic experience, and hopefully never will. I believe the reason that many reporters do not make stories on such people is that they do not appeal to many people. Again, many people are intimidated by this. It does not appeal to people. The public usually does not sit down to read a newspaper or watch tv about disabilities.
