It’s great to see graduates of @ADJnews leading change and contributing to more inclusive storytelling. Moses’s journey highlights the real impact of creating accessible pathways into journalism. A powerful example to mark the International Day of Persons with Disability. linkedin.com/posts/media-div…

Rain didn't dampen the excitement at today's ceremony at Stoke Mandeville. Our on-the-ground reporter, Victoria Scholes @legallypowered braved the elements to watch British para-athletes @HeleneRaynsford and Gregor Ewan along with IPC President Andrew Parsons, light the Paralympic flame. Now, it begins its 4-day journey to Paris! #Paralympics #ParalympicGames #Paris2024 #c4paralympics #DisabledJournalist #JournalismStudent

#FeelGoodFriday I came across a clip that reminded me of the incredible impact our Academy for Disabled Journalists has made. Hearing testimonials from our students fills me with immense pride for both their achievements and what we’ve built together. #Inclusion #DisabilityAdvocacy #Journalism
