What is it about?
BIZEPS-INFO online is THE news service in the disabled sector. Its journalists provide the latest information and comment on social policies, culture, accessibility and other topics related to disabilities. Apart from its accessible website, the news service provides its users with information in the form of a magazine, e-mails, discs, audio online broadcasts and videos in sign language. The website’s users can publish their comments in the “Forum”, while the “Notice Board” can be used to announce events. The number of page views shows that the service is needed and is proof of the success of the medium. The website also offers space to various art projects and thus represents the criteria and ideals of the movement for an autonomous life.
Appreciation of the Jury
In 2007, the jury awarded the project a prize of €1000 for being “extremely flexible and multi-facetted” and for “its endeavours to represent the target group”.
