Accés a persones amb discapacitats funcionals a la societat de la informació

Abstract

This article is based on studies (including those for her doctoral thesis) which the author carried out on the speech and image of people on television and radio, and on diverse aspects of creation, production and evaluation of interactive products. The article urges not only public administrations but also journalists and theorists in communications to assume their responsibility for integrating the disabled and the elderly into the Information Society,especially concerning available services on the Web. After all, it is often claimed that on-line services will permit the disabled a greater degree personal autonomy.
