Recently, Nielsen released their latest Diverse Intelligence Series report to kick-off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The report, titled Reaching Asian American Audiences: Understanding Asian Influence and Media Consumption, reveals that Asian Americans spend nearly equal time consuming content on their TVs and smartphones—approximately 17 hours per week on each. This trend highlights the need for a cross-media approach by advertisers, as Asian Americans increasingly favor ad-supported video on-demand (AVOD) streaming platforms, spending 31% of their viewing time on these platforms compared to 27% of the total population.
The report also underscores the growing significance of non-subscription news media for reaching Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) audiences, who form the fastest-growing group of eligible voters in the U.S. As we approach a new election year, the power of news media is expected to greatly influence these viewers, with 78% consuming news daily and showing a 34% higher likelihood to trust news programs compared to the total population.
Nielsen's efforts go beyond measurement. Their partnership with organizations like Gold House aims to advance the understanding of narratives that impact Asian American audience trust in TV, film, and news media. This collaboration seeks to empower diverse voices and stories that resonate authentically with communities, reflecting the company's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
