Summary/Abstract: Published media content influences to consumer awareness and modulate it according to the principle "reality becomes a reflection of media reality". Pubilshed messages should contribute to the active participation of recipients in non-affirmative judgment of content and awareness of "other and different". Treatment of persons with disabilities implies an interdisciplinary approach and a subtle way of processing free of stereotypical terminology and stigmatizing expressions. As the seventh force of the planetary influence, the media can contribute to the systemic action of the society in improving the position, and by respecting the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities. Continuous and affirmative approach to these topics would lead to a greater level of awareness of the recipes, as well as more complete knowledge of diversity, which would facilitate and increase the inclusion of this category of population in everyday life flows and events. The aim of this paper is to review the frequency of treatment of topics related to persons with physical disabilities and to analyze the extent to which the professional and innovative standards of education are presented in the discourse of Bosnian daily newspapers: Nezavisne novine and Dnevni avaz.
