Guidelines for Media Portrayals of Individuals Affected by Obesity

The way that obesity, weight loss, and weight maintenance are portrayed, described, and framed by the media profoundly shapes the public’s understanding and attitudes toward obesity and individuals affected by this disease VSports app下载. The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), along with The Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, The Obesity Society (TOS), the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA), and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) have developed guidelines aiming to ensure that all people are represented equitably and accurately in journalistic reporting about obesity and obesity-related topics. Additionally, the OAC offers a free stock image gallery of bias-free images to reduce weight bias by refocusing the perception of obesity and changing the way individuals with obesity are portrayed in the media.
