This roundtable dialogue foregrounds the pragmatic experiences of five disabled journalists, four of whom are blind or visually impaired. The journalists speak to the politics of disability identity in the newsroom, their career trajectories amid ableist environments, and the ways in which they grapple with the longstanding traditions of disability representation. They engage in larger theoretical conversations about the relationship between disability and media in the fields of communication, journalism, and critical disability studies.Cette table ronde met au premier plan les experiences pragmatiques de cinq journalistes handicapes, dont quatre sont aveugles ou malvoyants. Les journalistes discutent la politique autour l’identite du handicap dans la salle de presse, de leurs trajectoires de carriere dans des environnements capacitistes et comment ils affrontent les grandes traditions des representations du handicap. Ils s’engagent dans des conversations theoriques au sujet des relations entre l’handicap et les medias dans les domaines de la communication, du journalisme et des etudes d’incapacite critique.
