Madeleine Media Watch
I’ve left it all to Blackett here recently, but dissertation done, I shall be back to show off. Hoo-rah.
Bit of a tangent to start back with I’m afraid. Television has informed me that it has already been a year this week since Madeleine McCann disappeared in Portugal, and as such there seem to be a spate of programming dedicated to exposing the mystery behind it all.
Obviously, this programming doesn’t start until Wednesday, but I would like to begin ‘Madeleine Media Watch’. There is bound to be hundreds of exposes and stories about this during the week, so it’d be hard for us to completely ignore.
Not to be considered as bad taste, let me elaborate…
Media coverage is likely to be biased one of two ways. Either focussing on the tragedy, or placing the blame on the McCann’s themselves. I think it will be interesting to see which one is preferred by the media in this country, and also the stance which the forthcoming documentaries will take.
Opinions? Discuss.
