Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

The Media Obsessed Over the Parents

The media focused majorly on the McCann’s and whether or not they had something to do with the disappearance of their daughter. The case is arguably one of the most highlighted in modern history and could be compared to the disappearance of famed pilot Charles Lindbergh’s baby.

Various media outlets have focused on the disappearance over the years including pundits like Nancy Grace. Experts have also said that the case marks one of the first times that people had to face “trial by media” particularly in the new age of social media in which people can speculate wildly among each other across various platforms.
