社科院报告：路灯不亮称“瞎子”是歧视残障者|社科院|报告|残疾人_新闻资讯

　　新京报讯 (记者王卡拉)昨日，中国社科院新闻与传播研究所等机构发布《中国印刷媒介残障报道监测报告》。报告显示，媒体关注残障人士较片面，主要集中在残障人残疾本身及其健康或康复方面，忽略了报道残障群体与社会发展的关系等重要方面。还有部分媒体仍采用歧视性词汇形容残障人士。

　　报告对12家媒体在2008年到2012年间有关残障人士的1468篇报道进行了分析后发现，大众媒体在提高公众认识残障人群的权利方面已经起到了重要作用，但仍有一些报道存在不少误区或误解，甚至少数报道存在着基于残疾的歧视。

　　调查样本中存在歧视表述：

　　“就像瘸子丢了拐棍”；“院子里的瞎子路灯亮了”；“监控探头变成瞎子报警系统无法正常工作”；“技防系统半残现象倒逼相关立法出台”。

　　■ 观点

　　避免用残疾对人进行分类

　　中国社科院新闻与传播研究所卜卫教授指出，对残障人群的误解、偏见和社会歧视是残障人群就业和融入及参与公共生活的最大障碍。她建议，媒体对残障人群的报道可以更平衡、多元、具有权利视角。还应该增加残障人群对社会发展贡献，以及残障人群积极参与社会、政治、文化活动的报道，通过这类报道逐渐消除公众对残障人群的刻板印象。同时以残障人群权利为准则，检查并彻底摒弃歧视的词语及其报道，避免以残疾为基础对人进行分类，如“正常的”和“不正常的”。
