Asian American representation
Representation matters
Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) are a driving force in the U.S., both as cultural influencers and powerful consumers. At Nielsen, we’re relentlessly dedicated to understanding everything about the audience. Building on our role as the trusted source of measurement on media behaviors, content attributes and industry trends, we go deeper with a focus on diverse insights and inclusive intelligence. Discover the latest AANHPI insights and our work in AANHPI communities across the U.S.
Nielsen Diverse Intelligence Series
Our Diverse Intelligence Series explores diverse audiences’ unique media consumption habits and representation in media. The series is an industry resource to help brands better understand and reach diverse audiences. We also provide thought leadership to help publishers and content creators drive equity in media representation for underrepresented communities.
TV historically hasn’t been a place where the AANHPI community could trust to feel seen, but the tide is turning, especially on streaming platforms. As the media landscape continues to evolve, so will Asian media viewership—especially when you consider the diversity of the diaspora community, 63% of whom speak other languages besides English. Asian audiences cannot be gained through a “general market” approach—there are distinct patterns of engagement, trust and affinity.
At a time of splintering media attention, divided voices and an ever-growing number of platforms to choose from, our 2024 AANHPI Diverse Intelligence Series report explores how to win Asian American audiences by building trust and representation. In this election year, we also dive deeper into where and how the community is consuming news.

About Asian Americans
#WashTheHate
