Media Outreach Policy

​

When a person goes missing, time is critical. Find Me Alive (FMA) is committed to raising awareness quickly and broadly, which includes reaching out to media outlets to broadcast missing person information. This Media Outreach Policy explains how FMA manages relationships with media organizations and how information is responsibly shared.

​

Purpose of Media Outreach

• Increase Awareness – Ensure missing person cases reach the widest possible audience.

• Mobilize Communities – Encourage community members to be alert and provide tips or assistance.

• Support Families – Amplify the voices of families and friends searching for their loved ones.

​

How Media Outreach Works

• Identification of Cases
  When a missing person case is confirmed, FMA activates outreach efforts in coordination with families and, when applicable, law enforcement.

• Partnerships with News Channels
  FMA maintains contact with local, regional, and national media outlets to ensure coverage of missing person cases.

• Broadcast Content
  Information shared with media includes identifying details, last known location, and any other information provided by families or authorities that may help recovery.

• Social and Digital Media
  In addition to traditional outlets, FMA may also leverage digital platforms and social media to expand reach.

​

Safeguards and Standards

• Accuracy First
  Only verified information is shared with the media. Unconfirmed or speculative information will not be distributed.

• Family Consent
  Families are consulted and respected in all outreach activities, with sensitivity to their wishes.

• Privacy Protection
  Sensitive or unrelated private information is never disclosed.

• Continuous Updates
  Media partners receive updates as new information becomes available, ensuring the public is always working with current facts.
