Abstract
This chapter reviews the research within science and health reporting on non-dominant ethnic and racial groups around the world, among other disadvantaged populations, focusing on disparities between health outcomes and how news outlets report on those groups. It describes the intent of inclusive journalism and the factors that limit inclusive journalism being fully achieved. In reviewing the available literature, this chapter discusses the lack of representation and inclusion in academic research as much as in journalism and outlines a future research agenda.
