The most significant indicator that a society is democratic is that all individuals constituting this society have equal rights and enjoy them efficiently. However, in our country that is progressing slowly on the road to democracy, the citizens with disabilities benefit from rights to education, health, and labor less efficiently than the citizens without disabilities do. Social awareness and political responsibility are required in order for the persons with disabilities to enjoy these rights efficiently. Thus, visual media, with the power to inform, raise awareness, and create public opinion, takes on a significant task and responsibility. The current research aims to reveal the extent to which national television channels achieve this task and fulfill this responsibility. In addition, the status of rights stated, in details, by the “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” included by the national television channels is among the aims of the current research. Data for the current study conducted with descriptive survey model were obtained from the media follow-up center. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the content on persons with disabilities and rights of persons with disabilities broadcasted by 48 national television channels in 2012. Results of the analyses showed that the number, duration, and types of broadcasts about persons with disabilities and rights of persons with disabilities on national television channels were not adequate; “work and right to employment” were mostly emphasized; broadcasting on persons with disabilities was mostly on during “World Week of Persons with Disabilities” in May and during “World Day of Persons with Disabilities” in December; and the news about rights of persons with disabilities was mostly broadcasted in February, May, December, July, and April. The current study concluded that the level of visibility of persons with disabilities on visual media was low and the visual media did not adequately include rights of persons with disabilities.
