| gimmemags | Posted – 9/24/2007 10:25:38 AM | show profile Story here This is a request on a personal level because this girl and her family know a lot of people I know, but I work for a trade pub, so there's not a lot I can personally do to get the story on my news editor's radar. Is there anyone out there who can put a buzz in their news editor's ear to make this a national story? Especially seeing as how her car was found abandoned in Indiana across state lines (it's no longer a local issue). I'd like to see the media not drop the ball on this one after all their navel-gazing hoo rah about only focusing on missing white women. Please. Anyone? |
| Newzaroo | Posted – 9/24/2007 11:03:45 AM | show profile Race baiting a tragedy! She was all over Fox News Channel! You might want to watch FNC's "live" weekend programming occasionally. Or Greta VanSusteren which also delved heavily into her disappearance last week. Also, contact the "progressive" networks like MSNBC and CNN to see when they will start investing precious dollars and meager resources in a real 24/7 cable news operation, versus Muslim-lover hatchet jobs on Christians or a canned updates on butt-buddies in the prison pokey. By the way, are you talking about the missing black Chicago woman, or the missing black Miami woman who dominated FOX news headlines for weeks before? Help is where you find it and it's tragic, you never noticed. |

Too often stories might get guilt coverage and then it drops off the map. The national coverage should stay consistent and it only will if gatekeepers think it's important to stay there. |

| Bleak Spouse | Posted – 9/24/2007 6:18:33 PM | show profile gimmemags: This is already a national story. AP has already covered it and I ran it over the weekend where 10 million+ people could read it. |
