Abstract
This research explores disabled content creators and the experience of the media sphere that talks about those with disabilities. This study talked to 15 media creators who live and work in the disabled community. The participants shed light on how marginalized communities create media and share information for and with a niche community. The research is contextualized on health and advocacy journalism while largely relying on scholarship about niche community journalism that shares information outside the mainstream like the Black Press. The creators we spoke to explained their motivation to enter the media sphere and how they create content and share information about disability that was missing in their experience. This research shares the participants' role in politics, health, and lifestyle media and draws a larger picture of communication in the disabled community.
