[SC-CSTD] Blindness in the media: Tuesday Topics: Tuesday, October 25, 7:00 PM Eastern Time

[Steve Cook]

From: ACB-Conversation at acblists.org <ACB-Conversation at acblists.org> On Behalf Of Brian Charlson


At 7:00 PM eastern on Tuesday October 25 Tuesday Topics will take to the internet waves of ACB RADIO Media One. Till 9:00 PM we will discuss together where we stand with regard to how we feel about how those who are blind or low vision are portrayed in the movies and on television. We will also consider who and how the media cover the activities that we take part in.
What do you think of the "super blind"? Are they "inspiring" or do they mislead the public? What do such stories do to the expectations of parents with blind or low vision children?
Time permitting, we will also dip our toe in the waters of audio description and museums. Co-host Paul Edwards will have visited a number of museums between now than then and will share those experiences with us, and we hope that you will do the same.

Voting is a right that all of us have. Mid-term elections typically have a low turn-out! That makes our votes potentially more valuable! A vote is a terrible thing to waste!
