Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025The right wing media ecosystem absolutely jumped on the Channel 4 report into representation in advertising - in particular the stat on page 19 of the 49 page report (yup, that was it!) - that 51% of adverts featured a black person. 2/ 11012
Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025And because the Right are entirely predictable and completely incompetent at stats they took that to mean “51% of people in adverts are black” And that’s NOT FAIR because only 4% of the UK population is black so they’re taking WHITE acting jobs (or words to that effect…🙄) 3/ 21274
Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Let’s take a look at the press coverage and the various reports into diversity in advertising👍🏼 So first up, the Daily Mail. They began their article with “Advertisers are over-representing black people in TV commercials while pensioners and the disabled are being forgotten, research has found” 4/ 2843
