Diversity in the
Brazilian Media
• Outside of Africa, Brazil is the nation with the second largest black population in the world; and the 6th biggest economy in the world.
• 51.3% (about 95 million) of the population is of African descent and would self-identify as Black or mixed race – see recent article in the UK Guardian, “Brazil census shows African-Brazilians in the majority for the first
time,” the Brazil Census results: http://tinyurl.com/7x2rhhq • In the whole Latino American region there are 150
million Afro-Latinos

Blacks are underrepresented in Brazilian Media. In Brazilian television, for example, 90% of journalists and anchors are white. Stereotype, prejudice and invisibility are the rule for this population.

Stereotypes
