This paper investigates the relationship between functional diversity, the media and information units. To do this, first, we make a bibliographic review of national and international works on communication media and information units and their relationship with functional diversity; second, we examine the number of news items published on functional diversity in two communications media of the Region of Extremadura (Spain) (DOE and HOY) (1373 news items); and third, we analyze these news items in detail to check if they allude to the information units and check the nature of said mention (40 news items, 2.91 %). The research is carried out during the year 2020 because it coincides with the crucial period of the health pandemic caused by COVID19 and was a handicap for all citizens and, especially, for people with functional diversity. Among the results found, it is obtained that the most frequently mentioned information units are libraries (70 %) and that the most recurrent theme is "Oppositions and employment" (42.5 %). It concludes with the need for greater involvement and visibility in the communications media of the role of information units in relation to help and support for the most vulnerable groups.
