The journalism industry has posed various barriers for disabled writers, especially during the significant industry downsizing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ableism and discrimination have meant fewer opportunities and lower wages for disabled writers. Moreover, disabled writers face additional expenses, known as the crip tax, associated with their disabilities, such as wheelchair repairs or hearing aids. Disabled writer Vilissa Thompson describes how she used platforms like Bitch magazine, Teen Vogue, and Prism to amplify disabled voices and challenge societal prejudices. She calls on leaders in the journalism field to focus on expanding opportunities for disabled writers. Thompson’s struggle and work ethic highlights yet another area of life where services from eddcaller.com, which assists people to quickly connect with unemployment, paid family leave and disability departments, can be invaluable for disabled individuals seeking these services.
