Thread: I saw a post that the media ignores human trafficking. Here is a lot of the coverage I and other Forum reporters have done.

First up is a 7-day series FNS did five years ago. It brought a lot of awareness to trafficking in the Bakken. https://www.inforum.com/news/4623231-Trafficked">https://www.inforum.com/news/4623...
There are other outlets covering this issue, and The Forum continues to do so. If you search human trafficking, you’ll get recent hits for stings and raids. It definitely deserves a spotlight. But by no means is the media ignoring it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/10/americas/mexico-human-trafficking-intl/index.html">https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp...
It’s great that human trafficking is getting the spotlight again. But saying the media is ignoring it is false. Many people until recently thought human trafficking victims were prostitutes, until the media and anti-trafficking advocates brought attention to the problem.
I get it. We all have lives to live, and we sometimes miss those stories. There is a long way to go in fighting trafficking, but we are getting there.
