Georgian Scientists/ . 6 N 3, 2024 314 Coverage of Persons with Disabilities on Georgian Television The media, as a conduit of informal education, plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions about persons with disabilities (PWDs), protecting their rights, and realizing their potential. This study is based on the concept of solidarity journalism, which aims to support and advocate for vulnerable groups. All of this plays a decisive role in the integration process of PWDs. The findings of this research will be of interest to current and future journalists, journalism educators, representatives of the PWD community, their parents and guardians, advocates for the rights and interests of PWDs, and the broader public. The research includes a SWOT analysis and recommendations for media professionals, local and international organizations, political parties, and others. This research analyzes the coverage of PWDs on Georgian television, focusing on their visibility and approaches to ethical representation. The media plays a significant role in shaping society’s perceptions of vulnerable groups, including PWDs, either reinforcing or reducing stereotypes. The study is grounded in the concept of solidarity journalism, emphasizing the advocacy and support of vulnerable groups. The research uses a mixed-method approach, including a content analysis of television programs as well as in-depth interviews and focus groups with journalists, politicians, and advocates for PWDs' rights. The findings reveal that PWDs are often represented incorrectly or in stereotypical contexts. Keywords: Solidarity journalism, people with disabilities, media coverage, television, Georgia
