Gabby Petito's Death Is a Reminder That Social Media Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

As she tried to build her online following, Gabby's death shows that visibility doesn't equal protection.

It’s undeniable that the response to Gabby Petito's death has been outsized compared to other cases of women and girls who are missing or killed, particularly Black, Brown, and Indigenous women. While the Internet continues to overflow with updates and theories about Gabby’s case, the infuriating truth is that the same cannot be said for Black and Brown women, like Ashley Guillory or Deirdre Reid, who went missing around the same time as Gabby and have still not been found. And Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women have long been overlooked, as violence against Native women continues to be pervasive.

Many have pointed out how the media coverage of and interest in Gabby's case played right into “missing white woman” syndrome, a term coined years ago by journalist Gwen Ifill to describe when white women who go missing spark nation-wide outcry and search, while Black, Brown, and Indigenous women disappear by the hundreds to silence. And Gabby is certainly the kind of victim that society most often mourns the loudest. But on top of that, there's another layer that may be adding to the intrigue around her death. It’s possible to mourn Gabby’s loss, recognize that missing Black, Brown, and Indigenous women deserve the same energy, and to interrogate the other reasons for the widespread interest in her case.

Much has been said about how TikTok and Youtube sleuths were key in Gabby's case, which was discovered near Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park last weekend. She was found near a remote area where a family of YouTubers had coincidentally gotten footage of the van (though it’s unclear if their tip is what was ultimately used by the FBI). The cause of death was ruled a homicide, pending a final autopsy. While it’s true that Gabby's case has turned into a prime example of missing white woman syndrome, there's also a modern element that may add to the intrigue: Her desire to be an influencer.

I see a lot of people online saying that white women receive more media attention when they go missing compared to people of color — a discussion that has been brought to light because of the Gabby Petito case. Yes, there’s obviously a discrepancy in the way missing persons cases are reported, and race undoubtedly comes into play. But to these people I just want to say:  You don't think the fact that this is an active, ongoing homicide investigation plays into the media coverage? The unusualness — how two young Youtubers traveled across the country for two months shooting happy-go-lucky #vanlife content and suddenly the fiancee returns home without his partner but with her car? Then hides behind a lawyer and acts suspicious? It's a mystery people want to solve. The details of the case are unique. Unusualness is one of the 10 news drivers in the journalism industry. What about that the story spans from the west coast to the east coast? Involving New York, Florida, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas. Magnitude is one of the 10 news drivers. What about how so many people around the country can relate to Gabby Petito because they, too, experienced domestic violence and abuse? Relevance is another news driver. Nothing happens in a vaccuum. The couple were already in the public eye to begin with. Yes, there is a discrepancy in coverage based on race that should be erased. Just say that. But we should consider all the factors here. My point is journalists don’t just wake up and think “hmmm I feel like writing about this story.” There’s a formula that goes into ~proper~ journalism. Please note that mainstream broadcast media is not journalism, but entertainment. Here’s yet another reminder (aka me screaming into the void): Read. A. Newspaper. Article. Proper journalists actually adhere to guidelines, rules and best practices. And ethics.  Another reminder I like to periodically scream into the void: Facebook. Is. Not. News. TikTok, Instagram. These are not news publications. I have to say it because you know I love hearing criticism about “the media” from people who don’t even read the news. 😉
