Media representations are established, stereotypical representations of social groups across various media platforms. An example of how people are represented by media, particularly the news, is the Global portrayal of the royal family.

It is predicted that the majority of a nations population will be minorities by 2050 The number of female acting roles as well as people of colour acting in productions have been progressingly increasing since UCLA started taking records of data.
