Popularity of methods to increase diversity in journalism U.S. 2020, by ethnicity

A survey exploring the need for news organizations in the United States to hire staff in order to increase diversity found the most important area to be representation of race or ethnicity. Racial representation in news organizations was the priority for respondents of Black ethnicity over political views, income, age, or gender, with 60 percent believing there to be a need for more racial diversity. By comparison, just 27 percent of White respondents said the same, instead focusing on the need for diversity of political views, with 35 percent citing variance of political opinion to be important.
