Mass Media influence in pubic decisions and private conducts justify the growing attention payed to media devices by social sciences, and moreover when the core function of this influence –its effects– is critiziced in terms of pubic opinion and social counscience conformation. Disability and disabled people social image is configurated from a diversity of scenes and actors, but it is evident that an emisor power increases when the reception acces to alternative information providers dimises, without the possibility of contrast and critical reception. The text propose a reflection on mass media behaviour in relation to de informative, relative, construction of disability.
