- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019It was wonderful to finally find this book, one I’ve been searching for that focuses on research on media criticism of disability representation. It covers online blogs and websites, film, advertising, and journalism using specific qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluating stereotypes and authentic representation of disabled people. The story about Clint Eastwood and “Million Dollar Baby” was especially troubling.
