Only 14% said they are confident Black people will be covered fairly by the news media within their lifetimes.
FILE - In this April 20, 2021 file photo, a person reacts near Cup Foods after a guilty verdict was announced at the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin for the 2020 death of George Floyd, in Minneapolis, Minn. , Black Americans reported problems in how Black people are covered in the news and few said they are hopeful news coverage will improve.
The survey, which polled over 4,700 Black adults, shows Black Americans are more likely to view news coverage of Black people in a negative light than a positive light. Among those who said they came across racist news coverage at least sometimes, about half "say outlets pushing agendas is a major factor, and 45% say the same about journalists not being informed," the Pew Research Center said.
Among those who said they see racist news coverage at least sometimes, 64% identified educating all journalists about issues impacting Black Americans as an extremely or very effective way of improving news coverage.
