Search for Lisa case on America's Most Wanted Dec. 2

[askfornina]

And it's the only network on which I've seen JT give interviews ( other than at the very beginning). Like I said in my post above, there may have been other interviews with other networks, but I haven't seen them.

JT has done two interviews recently on Fox, one by phone and one in person. there may be more but these are the two most recent:

The parents have completely quit doing interviews and JI is back to work so I seriously doubt they are making loads of money off the media. Their attorney is on fox news a lot so I assume if he had a deal with ABC they wouldn't want him on fox news.

short statement from picerno:

"I think any publicity in terms of finding Lisa is going to benefit us one way or another. The more people that see and view Lisa and see what she looks like, the better chance we are going to have in finding her,” said John Anthony Picerno, attorney for Lisa’s parents.

this article says that AMW showed several never before seen photos..uhhh?? did anyone else see that?

An excerpt:

"If you have nothing to do with the disappearance of your child, you're at that police station everyday saying, "What can I do to get this baby back?"

I have to wonder how much they made before. GMA paid CA $200,000 for just one of their appearances...licensing fees for photo.

Major news networks do not pay for interviews. It is unethical for mainstream news. At least, that's what they say. Tabloids are different.

That is what they say, but they do get around it by paying licensing fees for photos/video in exchange for interviews, sometimes in amounts that seem very excessive. That said, I have no idea whatsoever if anyone has received one single penny for any such images in this case.

But in this case licensing fees for what? There were no new photos or videos posted on these interviews.

I don't remember all the pictures or videos that have been shown or by whom or when - that's why I said I had no idea if even a single penny had been paid in this case (to the family or anyone else). I haven't heard that anyone has received anything, though.

I personally don't see anything wrong with reasonable, standard and appropriate licensing fees for those things. It's the super excessive fees that make it obvious someone's interview was bought, IMO.

I have wondered about the Halloween trick or treating and the home walk throughs.

We know Stanton and Tacopina have been on the networks payroll in the past as security/legal consultants.

Yea, that is what they say but they get around that by purchasing photos and some media donate to a "charity"/ foundation , ugghhh.

 

[eileenhawkeye]

I could understand why the media would pay for pictures, because they can use those pictures every time they talk about the case, and being able to flash lots of pictures of an adorable baby while talking about how she's missing, is definitely going to bring in the viewers.

The dog has been found! Finally!

Sounds as if they MAY have been chasing the wrong dog by the helicopter search as it sounds like it was found about where it went missing from.:waitasec: It was found by a water plant and it was lost by the water plant.

Thanks for the link. (Just jumping off of it). I am curious about this:

"While no new information is being released by the family or police, several never-before-seen photos were shown."

That would kind of blow the "exclusive paid deal with ABC" rumor that has been floating around the thread, wouldn't it?

 

[Elley Mae]

Two months later they decide to show "never before seen" photos! wth

Maybe they just FOUND them? I know LE took their computer immediately. Maybe they had pics stored there and not on any other device? I would guess that they didn't so much "decide" to show them, as they offered them to AMW.

Do we know who provided the pictures to AMW? I don't know how that works, whether it would have to be by consent of anyone (or guardian) shown in the photos or whether the only need consent of the taker/owner of the photos.

I don't really care since I don't have an issue with it, just curious.

 

[Nixie]

I am glad they are releasing new pictures. Maybe now that they are back at the house they can get more of their stuff and get more pictures out there.

IMO , MSM pays the licensing fee as a way around paying for an interview. The picture or item doesn't have to be new or even used by the media ,in order for the family to receieve the fee.
$200,000 to Casey Anthony by ABC was beyond the pale. It may have been legal,but it was immoral .
