In the flow programs, more diversity against stereotypes
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 10:10 am
The pillar of diversity that sees the least progress is the representation of disability on screen, even though it is considered today that 15% of the world's population lives with a disability. For example, disability is significantly underrepresented on French television (0.7% of characters) and British television (7%), while 18% of the population in these countries suffers from a disability. However, it must be kept in mind that many disabilities are invisible in short media exposures.
Follow public demand
The need for diversity representation in the media goes beyond social cohesion and objectivity of news content, as it also makes a strong commercial argument. Indeed, according to the report, 45% of viewers cite diversity as an important characteristic when choosing a programme.
But, as can be seen above, Streaming, and in particular gambling data middle east SVOD platforms, have been able to respond more quickly to this increase in demand than the historical players in the audiovisual sector. In terms of LGBTQI+ representation, the report takes the example of the Norwegian series SKAM and its adaptations to show the success of programs in line with diversity among young people. The fact that Nielsen has decided to include homosexual households and couples in its audience measurements also shows the importance of identifying diversity within audiences in order to be able to meet its demands.
The demand for disability content is also very strong: 53% of American viewers would like to see more disabled actors in leading roles . This demand comes mainly from audiences living with a disability and young audiences. These audiences are all the more likely to be subscribed to streaming platforms (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video), on which the representation of disability is superior to linear.
Representation of racialized people in different types of audiovisual content
The report notes a lack of representation in “unscripted” content such as news, documentaries and magazines. In comparison, representation is most varied in children’s content. In particular, the lack of diversity in news programming and the unequal representation of communities promote stereotypical storytelling, which threatens the objectivity of content; and ultimately, social cohesion.
Diversity in news content is crucial when audiences who have little or no contact with minorities in their daily lives rely almost exclusively on the media to form an image of certain communities.
In this sense, a strong but negative representation of minorities can be detrimental because it creates and cements prejudices against different groups. Here are some findings from the qualitative research of the VRT (Flemish Belgium) to counter this effect:
Minorities are too often represented as homogeneous groups, without showing the disparities within communities. To counter this, newsrooms must be acculturated to the themes of intersectionality, cultural heterogeneity and the plurality of voices.
Stereotypes come from a catalogued representation of minorities , too often confined to subjects related to their ethno-cultural identity. The solution would therefore be to diversify the panels of experts, and to open the representation of minorities beyond subjects centered on their ethnicity.
Countering the trend of dichotomous narratives opposing the minority to a majority and dominant group through a more inclusive vocabulary, and an awareness of a certain “white normativity” in our media.
Beyond secondary roles and stereotypes
It is in fiction that the diversity represented is progressing the fastest. But people from ethnic minorities statistically play fewer main roles and leadership figures. For example, on French television, only 15% of roles are attributed to racialized people, and 36% of these roles are at best secondary.
In the case of LGBTQI+, despite a normalisation of homosexuality in fiction, there is a prevalence of stereotypes in roles. LGBTQI+ characters are represented as less intelligent, more sexualised and having a lower life expectancy than their heterosexual counterparts. According to an Ofcom report on the BBC, a fairer and more nuanced representation of LGBTQI+ is essential to combat discrimination and homophobic violence.
Intersectionality is also a topic to integrate for more inclusive fictions. The embodiment of diversity on screen most often rests on only one of the 5 pillars chosen for this report. For example, 70% of disabled people visible on television are men and only 15% are racialized.
Representation of disability in different types of audiovisual programs
As with racial and ethnic diversity, disability is statistically more present in stock programming, particularly in youth content. However, self-representation is almost remarkably low. Although fiction may represent disability more, it does not give more visibility to actors who themselves suffer from disabilities: in 2016, 95% of disabled characters in American series were played by able-bodied people. Disabled characters are often defined solely by their disability in the storytelling and presented as dependent and fragile. They are therefore rarely represented in leading roles.
Progress begins with organizations
Before appearing on screen, diversity should be embodied in the workforce of media organizations.
Currently, and despite slight progress, there are very few minority news media editors-in-chief. These positions have a direct influence on editorial staff but also on the image of the media among the public. Thus, diversity in editorial leadership is also important because it directly impacts the choice of topics, angles and therefore the representation of diversity on screen.
According to the EBU, European public service media have a comparative advantage in driving progress towards more inclusive broadcasting. Indeed, EBU members currently operate 225 TV, radio or streaming services that target ethnic and linguistic minorities and citizens with a migrant background .
On the side of sexual minorities, there are few statistics about the share of LGBTQI+ in the media workforce. It is precisely on the side of public service media that we can find them, as well as a stronger representation than the market average. For example, we see above that LGB have a strong creative contribution at the BBC. However, the representation of transgender people in the British media remains anecdotal (only 0.2% of employees).
Disability is also underrepresented in public media workforces. Among EBU members who were able to share statistics on this subject, the share of disabled staff ranges from 1.7% in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic to 10% in the United Kingdom. The BBC stands out in this respect from other British television channels: in 2020, it had on average 30% more disability representation than the competition. The presence of disabled people within organizations is also a strong contribution to the accessibility of media and to the mission of inclusivity of public service media. Thus, 56% of public service media declared this year that including more disabled people in their workforce is one of their top priorities.
Reach a wider audience
The final conclusion that can be drawn from this report is the injunction to be responsive and to have a better knowledge of the public for MSPs. Inclusivity and accessibility are necessary to reach a wider audience, but also to enrich and diversify the workforce of public media. It should also be noted that young audiences are particularly sensitive to the representation of diversity in the content they choose to consume. This audience being a key target for the future of public audiovisual and historical media, it is important to react quickly to this demand. Private SVOD players such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video have already understood this.

TO REMEMBER THIS WEEK:
The shadow of the apple – Apple presented the new features of iOS15 at the beginning of the week at WWDC . Apple is banking on data with new features like Apple Wallet (which allows, among other things, to keep your ID documents on your iPhone) or the update of Apple Health allowing you to share your health data with family and doctors . For your FaceTime calls, you will also be able to share videos or music from TikTok or Hulu for example. One thing is certain, is that privacy rules have become a commercial asset in their own right for the apple brand , and they will be further strengthened with iOS 15 – with the notable exception of a few countries, including China, which will not benefit from the “private relay” VPN function . However, despite being a company exercising strong control over its business model, Apple remains a recognized pioneering firm .
Bad times for newsletters – While Facebook, riding the wave of newsletters , will launch “Bulletin”, a competitor to Substack at the end of June , Apple has made an announcement that could well put an end to this craze . The brand with the apple will now let its users decide whether or not to block the tracking of email pixels , widely used by newsletter authors. This measure, decided in the name of privacy protection, could especially penalize small publishers . As for the big names in the sector, they are mainly concerned by leaks of their contributors to platforms considered clearer on their editorial positioning, such as Substack which is losing authors to Ghost .
Content creators, their compensation and Big Tech – As we increasingly move towards an economy of online monetization and no longer of attention , Big Tech has a lot to do with the complaints of content creators who feel aggrieved. At Apple, developers' anger continues to rise in the face of the Appstore's commissions deemed too high and the new confidentiality conditions of iOS. On the Facebook side, an interface project was announced at the beginning of the week to help them know how much money is taken by the big names in tech from the income of content creators . Mark Zuckerberg also stated that Facebook will not receive any commission from them until 2023. A few days later, it was Instagram's turn to announce that it would allow influencers to earn commissions on the sales of products they promote .
