In 1982, the Texas Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities
\ncreated the media relations program to recognize the contributions of
\nindividuals and media organizations, including print, radio,
\ntelevision, advertising, photojournalism and public relations, whose
\ncommunications efforts help to eliminate attitudinal, social, and
\nphysical barriers and encourage accurate and progressive portrayals of
\npeople with disabilities. The award is named in honor of the late
\nBarbara Jordan, a person with multiple sclerosis who championed the
\ncauses of people with disabilities as a member of the U.S. House of
\nRepresentatives from 1973 to 1979.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
