What We Need to Know Today
Does the press pay more attention to missing white girls? duh
Dateline NBC, takes on the same topic tonight. "What's Missing," which examines why disappearances of minority women aren't covered extensively (much less obsessively) in the media, unlike the cases of white women such as Natalee Holloway and Laci Peterson. The program follows the family of Tamika Huston, of Spartanburg, S.C., which had had difficulty garnering media coverage of her suspicious disappearance.
