Missing White Women Syndrome

I'm amazed it has taken this long for me to see an article on this subject in the mainstream media. What a shame.

CNN.com - Anderson Cooper 360° Blog: "When pretty, young women -- especially white ones -- are killed or disappear, media storms often follow. There is no polite way to say it, and it is a fact of television news. Media and social critics call the wall-to-wall coverage that seems to swirl around these events, 'Missing White Woman Syndrome.'"
