The National Center on Disability & Journalism is an organization found at Arizona State University. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication houses the NCDJ. The NCDJ helps journalists cover stories about people with disabilities. The NCDJ wants to keep with journalistic integrity while providing information on how to better write about people with disabilities and the issues that they endure.
The NCDJ shows facts about people with disabilities around the United States of America and what laws pertain to people with disabilities. The NCDJ website shows correct words to use when covering issues of disability. The website also offers a library of news stories about people with disabilities and issues that they face. The blog that the website offers is a place for people to tell their ideas and stories about writing for people with disabilities. The website offers services like resources for stories and tips on how to interview people with disabilities. Anyone can join the NCDJ and receive their newsletter in e-mail to keep up with the latest website news. The website is also involved in social networking to spread awareness with Facebook and Twitter.
The NCDJ is a great tool for journalists to use. The website has many resources on a particular subject that many journalists might not know or be able to find in texts. The website does a great job of putting all the information in an easy to use system that journalists can use in a short amount of time.
