National Center on Disability and Journalism (NCDJ) is an independent journalism organization. Our mission is to educate journalists and educators about disability reporting issues in order to produce more accurate, fair and diverse news reporting. The mission is realized through research, development and distribution of educational resources.

NCDJ is committed to educating about the complexity of disability issues and the range of perspectives available on them. Only through open, diverse and inclusive dialogue will disability reporting become more accurate. We invite you to participate by using our materials and providing feedback.

NCDJ offers two programs:

1. Research, development and distribution of educational and resource materials for journalists and educators to use in the newsroom, educational organizations, and college and university classrooms. Materials include a newsletter, style guide, curricula and mentorship program. As our funding expands so will our resources.

2. Student internships where students get hands-on experience by participating in the educational materials program.
