Helpless victims and brave heroes: the image of disabled people in Polish pressThere are two dominant ways of portraying disabled people in the media – either as people needing help or heroes achieving the extraordinary (‘super-crips’). The article uses framing analysis in order to examine disability-related texts from two most-read Polish daily papers – “Fakt” and “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The aim of the study was to determine whether the two frames: disabled person as a helpless victim or a ‘super-crip’ are still the dominant ways of portraying disability and if there are any discrepancies in this respect between the two newspapers.Keywords: disabled people, framing analysis, image, press
