Disability
publications fit with other types of alternative or dissident media
in U.S. society because they advocate on behalf of a distinctive U.S.
group, which has come together to form a political and social community.
These publications cover the issues that affect that community vigorously.
They also fall into this category of media because of the historic discrimination
and exclusion people with disabilities have faced in society, as well
as the negative stereotyping they have received from the mainstream
news media.
