Being Seen on Screen: Diverse Representation and Inclusion on TV

Nielsen’s latest Diverse Intelligence Series report, Being Seen on Screen: Diverse Representation and Inclusion on TV, has been released by the consumer research and data analytics company.

It is Nielsen’s inaugural report to measure the television media landscape’s progress and gaps in on-screen inclusion.

The report reviews a variety of underrepresented groups in TV, including women, people of color and LGBTQ+ consumers.

Some major takeaways from the report:

  • Hispanic/Latinx women are consistently and significantly less represented across all platforms
  • Across all TV, Native Americans’ share of screen is less that one quarter of their presence in population estimates
  • Of the top 300 programs across broadcast, cable and SVOD, only 2.3% have non-binary representation
