Your Heard Tell Show for Monday, October the 3rd, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the times we live by reviewing the Gabby Petito story from one year ago, the news media coverage, the blowback over which missing persons do/do not get covered, and how covering and reporting on missing persons stories really works in the mordern media environment with investigative journalist Molly McCluskey, excerpted from the Oct 2021 episode of Heard Tell Podcast.

Read Molly McCluskey's story on missing persons in the Crow Nation here: https://t.co/XS9CtGSx50?amp=1

From The Original Episode:

The Gabby Petito story is the latest true crime missing person story to explode across media, but something interesting happened: the American public started asking questions about why the Gabby Petito story got coverage that some other missing person stories did not. Media outlets responded by running stories along the lines of "What about these other stories" which brought another backlash of folks pointing out that the media dictates which stories get covered. So what do we make of this? We turn to investigative journalist Molly McCluskey who knows first hand what it is like to try and bring stories about missing person's to not only the public's attention but finding media outlets to run them. She is the perfect person to help us turn down the news cycle noise on media coverage and get to the information of how journalism navigates the modern media environment. Her story of missing persons on the Crow Nation lands, and the rejection of the story by many of the same outlets running the "missing person" stories appearing in reaction to Gabby Petito, is something everyone needs to hear. We also talk about responsible journalism, and what the general public should look for in their news consumption to both hold the news media accountable, but also make ourselves a more informed audience.
