In a major new study, Black Americans expressed broad concerns about how they are depicted in the news media, with majorities saying they see racist or negative depictions and a lack of effort by journalists to cover broader segments of their community. The Pew Research Center conducted the study of Black attitudes toward news coverage, its first, and it comes three years after a racial reckoning in the media prompted by the George Floyd killing. Some experts say the findings aren't much of a surprise, since many Black readers and viewers are upset that too often, members of their community are covered as crime perpetrators.
