Four-in-ten Black Americans say that the issues and events most important to them are often covered in the outlets they get news from, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2023. Similar shares of Asian (38%) and Hispanic (37%) adults say the same.
By contrast, a slim majority of White Americans (54%) say the outlets they get news from cover the topics that are most important to them extremely or fairly often.
These findings come from a broader Center study of Black Americans’ experiences with news, in which many criticized the way the news media covers Black people. The survey also asked about Black Americans’ interest in specific news topics.
