Pentingnya representasi kuantitas dan kualitas di TV
Seiring dengan semakin beragamnya platform-dan berkembangnya populasi dalam komunitas kita-pemirsa mengharapkan cerita yang mereka lihat dan dengar di berbagai media mencerminkan suara dan pengalaman mereka yang beragam. Menurut laporan Diverse Intelligence Series terbaru kami, data Nielsen untuk musim TV 2020-2021 menunjukkan bahwa di antara 1.500 program teratas di AS (di seluruh siaran, kabel, dan streaming), 78% di antaranya memiliki keragaman ras, etnis, gender, atau orientasi seksual.
But while diversity within content choices is increasing, audiences still feel the representation is not accurate. Meaning, just because a group is represented on screen, it doesn’t mean that group is being represented the way they want to be seen. With 42.2% of the U.S. population racially and ethnically diverse, and people increasingly exploring and defining their personal identities, the media has an opportunity to create more content to better portray all of us.
