Journalism and Media Studies Final Year Topic: Newsroom Style Guides and Respectful Disability Terminology

Why choose this project topic?

This topic gives you an observable problem: how style guides explain disability terminology and self-identification. Its evidence base of public newsroom guides and authoritative public disability-language discussions supports specific comparisons and a focused discussion of what the findings can and cannot explain.

What patterns and limitations emerge when investigating how style guides explain disability terminology and self-identification?

Choose the precise organisation, corpus or participant setting and a feasible period for studying how style guides explain disability terminology and self-identification; confirm access before naming it.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify observable indicators relevant to how style guides explain disability terminology and self-identification.
  2. 02Assemble an authorised evidence base from public newsroom guides and authoritative public disability-language discussions.
  3. 03Compare practical examples, exceptions and acknowledgement of differing preferences.

A suggested research approach

Check access and define selection rules for public newsroom guides and authoritative public disability-language discussions. Compare practical examples, exceptions and acknowledgement of differing preferences. Pilot the recording instrument, document exclusions and preserve contrary examples. Obtain required approvals before involving people or organisational records, and distinguish reported perceptions from independently observed behaviour.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to public newsroom guides and authoritative public disability-language discussions
  • A piloted coding or task protocol for how style guides explain disability terminology and self-identification
  • Secure data handling, source-attribution records and any required participant permissions

Keep your project scope clear

No style guide represents every disabled person's preferred terminology.
