SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite efforts by the entertainment industry to improve diversity and representation in front of and behind the camera, screen media continues to fall short on its portrayal of diverse races and ethnicities, even while parents are indicating they want more representation in the media that their kids consume.

Key Points: 
  • And this is no different for kids," says Onnie Rogers, PhD, a researcher from Northwestern University who co-authored the report.
  • "Media representation is important to how kids build their perspectives on their own ethnic-racial group, as well as that of others.
  • This research gives us a deeper understanding of how media, race, and representation are all intertwined with lasting effects."
  • Parents responded with a clear message: It's about more than just seeing their race/ethnicity in the mediait's about being culturally and linguistically inclusive.
