Missing persons and the media: the language and disconnect of ambiguous loss

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstract

Abstract

James, Anderson and Putt (2007) estimate that one person will be reported missing every 15 minutes in Australia. Law enforcement use the media to assist in the location of missing people often using the next of kin to engage the community by sharing insights into the private lives of the person that is lost.
