People of color in radio news in the U.S. 1990-2021
Only small gains were made in terms of the share of people color employed in radio news in the United States between 1990 and 2020, with the percentage amounting to just 15.4 percent in 2020, up by less than five percent over the 20 year period. The most recent survey held at the end of 2020 projected that people of color would see a slight increase in representation in 2021, with year-on-year growth of 0.4 percent.
