Gone Missing | Radar 2022

When it comes to the amount of coverage media gives to missing persons cases, it’s become common knowledge that white women receive vastly more attention and airtime than cases concerning BIPOC. And while media outlets, journalists and even law enforcement have openly recognized the problem and put forth some effort to correct it, little has been done to systematically overturn it. The devastating case of Gabby Petito received widespread media attention and even helped cast a spotlight on various other cases of missing BIPOC, but hundreds more still go ignored. Organizations and groups refusing to sit and wait for the next high-profile case of a missing white woman to serve as the catalyst for corrective measures are doing their part to ensure that media and law enforcement give cases like that of Lauren Cho and Jelani Day the attention they so deserve. In the meantime, they’re putting alternative media and social media to good use to spread awareness.
