About Grit Media
Grit Media is a project of Disability Media Inc. We are
based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. We aim to bring awareness of
disability into people’s homes through the production of media
including television, video, film, print and radio.
It is anticipated that this will allow Australians
generally to see disability as a natural part of life and be
increasingly comfortable with seeing, hearing and discussing all
aspects of disability much as they would any other realities of day to
day life.
It will do this by producing images of disability that
are realistic, compelling and engaging. Grit Media has been developed
in response to the paucity of presence in the Australian media of
people with disabilities.
We are a Victorian, not-for-profit organisation with the
purpose of producing media with, for and by people with disabilities.
We are a grass roots community organisation that has the capacity to
deliver a service nationally, and which has a national and
international audience. Our role is to facilitate the process, with a
focus on cross-media. It will initiate, develop and manage the
production of the full range of media.
