"Missing White Woman Syndrome (MWWS) or missing pretty girl syndrome is a vernacular term for the alleged disproportionately greater degree of coverage in television, radio, newspaper and magazine reporting of a misfortune, most often a missing person case, involving a young, attractive, white, middle-class (or above) woman, compared with cases concerning a missing male, or missing persons of other races or classes. The essential features of a missing person said to give rise to Missing White Woman Syndrome are sex, race or ethnicity, (relative) beauty, and age."
