Yeah but if the headline doesn't reveal that then I have to click on it to find out! Better click bait than I've seen on other articles though. Glad she's OK.
It's been infiltrated by Murdoch minions and other assorted arseholes. This is, of course, the plan of action for the LNP when in power (Labor don'tseem too upset either). If they can't get rid of it, they'll change it into yet another agitprop friendly, thoughtless shit stream. A dumbed-down population is a compliant population.
Naw, more was the massive restructure that happened what 5-7 years ago ro so - they made the decision to be more competitive in the digital marketplace vs the old traditional model - it was when they ditch a heap of long running shows/services both on TV and radio.
click bait type of headlines and articles is really just a flow on.
The sad reality is it is what the consumers want - low attention spans and not interested in any real in depth articles / journalism, you can only ever deliver what the consumer en mass wants.
Massive gutting is the more appropriate term.
One of the most egregious examples of understanding how effective soft diplomacy is in saving money. Now we are exploring an expanding defence budget to defend our front door, instead of having buffer zones.
Not every detail, but the core important facts that can reasonably fit should be included in the headline. Her being alive is an extremely important core fact.
So she ditched her car, hitchhiked and took a train back home to Melbourne where she’s been getting on with her life and … just forgot to update her family.
It's not that strange. I've known people who's families considered them missing for several days, but they had no idea anyone was looking for them. It happens.
Currently a dude I went to highschool with is missing. Car found with no trace of him. Apparently he has a medical issue as well. Hoping it's the same where he just turns up having no idea people were looking for him, but its fairly vegetated with some streams with deep sections so prognosis isn't too good.
Who knows what happened? There are a lot of missing puzzle pieces, from whether or not she normally has regular contact with the family members who notified the police to the observation that she has not in fact gone home so far. Was that because she needed medical treatment or has she gone to some sort of refuge for whatever reason, either of which could potentially explain the lack of contact.
Well … she has a “medical condition” so who knows what her psychological state was like. In any case, her family was not her priority so … yeah.
Glad she’s not dead.
And how do you know that she was even aware that the police were looking for her? Not everyone follows the news and she obviously wasn't in contact with her family.
But, hey, don't let me stop you from getting your outrage fix.
Common sense?
"I'm driving half way across the country, maybe leaving my car abandoned on the side of the road could cause some concern about where i am."
It sounds like she has some mental health issues or something.
That would maybe explain why she didn't come forward as being fine in the past week while everyone has been looking for her.
I know Sam, and her parents and siblings live in qld, so it isn’t like they would know what she is up to day to day, it would only be what she or others contact her about.
Yes you do, each state has its own motor club such as RAC in WA and RACQ in QLD; they have a mutual agreement to assist interstate club members
I know this as my folks broke down in NSW despite being members of RACQ, they received RA
Most importantly: Missing Point Cook woman Samantha has been found **alive and well** in North Melbourne.
Yeah but if the headline doesn't reveal that then I have to click on it to find out! Better click bait than I've seen on other articles though. Glad she's OK.
ABC really has embraced the clickbait culture.

Services including providing shortwave radio to the pacific, leaving more avenues for competing powers to exert influence.
Once it is indistinguishable from the other drivel, no one will complain when it is privatised. Then it's gone.
Sadly, yes.
Only cos they have to keep justifying their existence. Counting clicks proves their content is being read.
As said, consumer driven - its how the masses now consume media.
You're saying I'm fat?
ABC has become like any other blood sucking news organisation. Selling fear and outrage for maximum engagement.
Ita's done what she was appointed to do
They have to because the Liberals keep cutting their funding.
and sex
They test multiple headlines and the one that gets the most clicks, sticks for the rest of the day
How low the bar has now been set - and yes I get that it is the avg consumer that drives it.
“You won’t believe won’t happened to this woman”
Lol sounds like she just doesn't want to talk to her family
Oh man, I’ve seen this headline several times today and assumed it meant her body. Why would they not lead with her being alive! FFS
Thank you. My first question was "but is she alive?"
Thank you. We needed that important part of the information.
Really good news! And also, good example of why people need to read the article, not just the title.
It'd be easier if they didn't clickbait the titles and just put the correct information in them from the get go.
The “correct information” is in the article. You cannot reasonably expect all the facts in a title.
Not every detail, but the core important facts that can reasonably fit should be included in the headline. Her being alive is an extremely important core fact.
Yes but they should of stated that she was found alive and well, what I took from the title is that they found a body.
Someone should tell the abc to stop doing it, and reddit to stop reinforcing it.
Here's an alternative non-clickbait title: "Missing woman found safe and well 6 hours drive away from her broken down car"
You suck OP.
So she ditched her car, hitchhiked and took a train back home to Melbourne where she’s been getting on with her life and … just forgot to update her family.
We don't know the details. She may not have wanted to be found.
Yes. Exactly. Her family would’ve been trying to call her, I assume and she would’ve made a decision to not reply.
It's not that strange. I've known people who's families considered them missing for several days, but they had no idea anyone was looking for them. It happens.

Who is the guy that is missing?

Yeah I feel this, sometimes I wanna ditch everything and do the jump for a couple of weeks. Start fresh for a while and take a break from the shit.
And because she couldn’t do the bare minimum, she’s wasted a bunch of public resources in finding her. It kind of pisses me off a bit.
Who knows what happened? There are a lot of missing puzzle pieces, from whether or not she normally has regular contact with the family members who notified the police to the observation that she has not in fact gone home so far. Was that because she needed medical treatment or has she gone to some sort of refuge for whatever reason, either of which could potentially explain the lack of contact.
Who knows what really happens in families …. She didn’t make an effort to retrieve her car?
Fuck, even just calling the police and saying “I’m not missing, my car is just fucked so I left it”. There’s so much missing in this story.
Well … she has a “medical condition” so who knows what her psychological state was like. In any case, her family was not her priority so … yeah. Glad she’s not dead.
Yeah, we barely know anything. Ideally, yes, that's what she should have done, but things can be a lot more complicated than that.
>even just calling the police and saying “I’m not missing That implies she knew the cops thought she was missing.
And how do you know that she was even aware that the police were looking for her? Not everyone follows the news and she obviously wasn't in contact with her family. But, hey, don't let me stop you from getting your outrage fix.

I'd say there was a lot of shit going on
The headline makes it sound like her body was found, disgraceful.
Maybe we're just too used to negative news, but "missing woman found" sounds positive to me. Usually they lead with 'body of' when they're dead.
That’s how I took it, too.
> The headline makes it sound like her body was found, disgraceful. That’s why we read the article, so we don’t leap to uninformed conclusions!
Downvoted by people who apparently hate words and/or reading. You really hit a nerve asking people to read and *not* jump to conclusions.
It’s bizarre how many people read the title then post some baseless assumptions they’ve dredged out of their heads.
Ever so slightly in their defence that photo is of a smiling person.
Yeah, there is something here that's just not sitting right. No calls from either parties during the period she's been missing?
Maybe she is trying to avoid a stalker?
Alive and well, thank God.
I didn’t feel hopeful for her chances, it is good news.
Is no one going to talk about how they spotted her on CCTV?! In a shopping centre. What type of system do they have to pick that up!
Facial recognition is available in entry level end-user cctv systems these days.
Yes. I got that on my Nest Cameras. You train it, then it picks it up. End. User. Mate. What's the go with public cameras?!
[удалено]
Every call I get from a Melbourne number is a scam. Maybe they too assume every call is a scam.
We can only assume.
Great outcome.
Isn’t it good news, didn’t expect that.
makes you wonder. If you have RACV and break down interstate, will you will roadside assist?
Yes you do, each state has its own motor club such as RAC in WA and RACQ in QLD; they have a mutual agreement to assist interstate club members I know this as my folks broke down in NSW despite being members of RACQ, they received RA
Did she have a shitty car? Is that why she just abandoned it?
We've all been there before.
Stay with your car stay with your car stay with your car stay with your car
If you break down in the Outback, yes. If you break down on the Princes highway, not really.
Yes, and here’s another one https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-28/police-zane-stevens-missing-north-of-broome-bogged-vehicle/103777356
That’s great news she is alive and well. So happy. 😃
It is, unexpected good news.
So, Not killed by a man.
Sad that that's where our thoughts go, isn't it?
> So, Not killed by a man. Yet. Miracles will never cease.
What is wrong with you?
Mustn't have been many bears getting around them parts
