The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

as representações sociais estão constantemente a mudar e por isso é importante que sejam orientadas correctamente. Uma forma da sua divulgação é através dos media. neste contexto, é fundamental compreender as representações sociais emanadas dos jornais desportivos, que noticiam os Jogos paralímpicos. através da análise de conteúdo, realizada em dois jornais de circulação nacional especializados em desporto (O Jogo e record), dos anos 1996, 2000, 2004 e 2008, anos de Jogos paralímpicos, somos capazes de descortinar as representações sociais dos jornais sobre os atletas paralímpicos portugueses. de uma análise a priori emergiram as seguintes categorias: terminologia e estereótipos. as nossas principais conclusões são: a frequência de publicação das notícias foi regular, mas não de forma contínua; a terminologia usada para descrever o atleta paralímpico é precisa, principalmente porque tende a retratar primeiro o atleta ao invés de sua deficiência, especialmente na publicação dos Jogos paralímpicos de 2004; a terminologia no conteúdo das notícias é desigual no sentido de que tanto enfatiza correctamente o tema "Jogos paralímpicos", os atletas e os métodos aplicados, mas apresenta inconsistências na terminologia por não usar as normas de People First Language; e o atleta paralímpico é representado cada vez menos de forma estereotipada.
