Abstract:
More than 10% people of Bangladesh are challenged people. It is not small amount. But the media of Bangladesh is presented challenged people as helpless, ‘other’, ‘violent’, ‘animal like’ and ‘unnatural’ and so on. This study unfolds the existing discourses and tendencies about people with disabilities (challenged people) presented by media of Bangladesh especially national dailies with the help of thematic content analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA). It also suggests some important points in representing challenged people in the perspective of the reality of society and culture of Bangladesh.
