“For a nation on the cusp of becoming a white minority society, there is no excuse for men occupying 68% of the guest spots, and white people comprising 73% of all guests and commentators on the most popular Sunday news programs.”
The Women’s Media Center’s recently releasedon gender and race representation on major TV news programs is the latest danger sign that U.S. journalism is neglecting whole communities of people. For a nation on the cusp of becoming a white minority society, there is no excuse for men occupying more than two-thirds of the guest spots, and white people comprising nearly three-fourths of all guests and commentators on the most popular Sunday news programs.
Among the most recent data on the greatly unequal gender representation in U.S. news can be found in the findings. The U.S. data in that report show that women account for only one-third of the subjects in politics and economy, and less than half of the experts quoted in radio, television, newspapers, online news, and Twitter. Women were found to be only 37% of announcers and presenters in television news. Interestingly, women reporters covered the majority of stories about women.
As a result, since 1996, women and people of color have seen a shrinking share of media ownership and executive-level control. In U.S. broadcast, female and nonwhite ownership is in the low single digits for full-powered radio and television stations. Thus, our media remain dominated by white extremely wealthy men who are getting richer by the hour and who safeguard whom and what they represent.
