Abstract

The mainstream UK media has been largely supportive of the parents of Madeleine McCann, despite much more hostile coverage in Portugal. The News of The World’s story “New Sketch Reveals Face of Kidnapper Suspect” at the weekend was typical and it was taken up by other outlets. This was despite the highly dubious value of the drawing taken from one witness. But go online and public scepticism is passionate, detailed and often unpleasant.
