Abstract
This research was carried out in NUDIPU in Kampala Uganda. The research examined
how much the media covers the day to day activities of the disabled persons in society
and media integration in their lifestyles.
In handling the issue of disability, media has to be on the front line in highlighting the
rights and concerns of PWDs. This includes fully participation in seminars, conferences
and broadcasting their activities not only on world disability Day but through out the year
their plight should be on the spotlight. We have to consider efforts and improvements in
the media sectors targeting social assistance and categorical benefits directed to
improving the conditions of PWDs. This includes gender aspects, equal representation
politically, socially and economically. All these should be highlighted and advocated by
the media since is surveillance in the community.
As the worlds continue to be overtaken by globalization the fate of the disabled persons
continue to be ignored. It is therefore the duty of the media to be on the fore front in
agenda setting and advocating the rights of the disabled persons since it is the watchdog in the society.
