 Poynter Online - From Fairy Tale to Fact: Covering Elizabeth Smart
As the details of her ordeal emerge, journalists are obligated to anticipate the ethical pitfalls, minimize the harm to Smart and her family, and identify and explore the bigger issues that often get lost when a story becomes larger than life.
Elizabeth Smart's case isn't just the exception to the rule; it's the exception that broke all the rules.
As compelling as it is, the Elizabeth Smart chronicle is no more meaningful than a fairy tale, unless it is told in the broader context of the story of American childhood.

 Elizabeth Smart: Inside Her Recovery : Performance Plus / culture/a&e
When the question is asked, “Why did Elizabeth not run when she had so many opportunities to do so?” the answer is that she was stuck in a frozen mind-state, allowing her no sense of conscious choice.
When Elizabeth was asked by the police, “Who does this look like?” She replied, “Not me.” It was safer emotionally to remain in her alter ego or pseudo identity than to return to her shattering experience as Elizabeth Smart.
Elizabeth Smart apparently was a “good girl.” She was obedient and pre-conditioned to respecting adults and authority and thus was more susceptible than a rebellious child who may have survived psychologically by an internal defense system and mental resistance, but only if there were physical survival.

 Elizabeth Smart Notes
Two days after her return, I heard a guy claim on local radio that Elizabeth Smart had multiple facial piercings, including a nose piercing, as well as numerous tatoos, that she ran around with a wild crowd, and she wasn't this "harp playing angel" that had been portrayed by the family.
When Elizabeth was found, I was first of all amazed that she was still alive, because the vast majority of female children who are abducted by male non-family members are raped and murdered within a few days.
In the case of Elizabeth Smart, it is likely that during the months of imprisonment and psychological abuse, she developed an entirely new identity - her past life was no longer even part of her thinking.

It was just that he and Lois “felt” ready to talk about their own and Elizabeth’s “trauma” to the likes of objective TV personalities like Katie Couric et al.
Couric was piercing, suggesting to the Smarts that their ordeal “really must have been frustrating.” Ed Smart seemed to turn the question over and over in his mind, searching perhaps for the right words.
So much for sob sisters like Couric and dozens if not hundreds of her ilk who specialize in the culture of victimization and refuse to consider alternatives to their poor-me theories or to focus instead on the immense capacity of the human spirit to triumph over adversity.

Elizabeth Wurtzel writes with her finger in the faint pulse of a generation whose ruling icons are Kurt Cobain, Xanax, and pierced tongues.
The author does, however, try to make it known that there were clear events in her life that led up to her feelings and emotions, as opposed to some sort of chemical imbalance.
Though the narratives can get rather irritating at times, making Elizabeth Wurtzel out to be a whiny, overly-dramatic, spoiled college girl, the reader can't help but feel a little bit of compassion and sympathy for what the author experienced.

An officer allegedly checked out a homeless man wearing robes and his two female companions, one a young girl behind a veil - much like the garb worn by Smart and her alleged captors the day they were found in March 2003.
The book claims that Elizabeth - who was once tethered to trees by shackles - had been continuously brainwashed by her captors, making her afraid to reach out.
Tom Smart said the book also shows why focusing on a particular theory or suspect, such as one-time "person of interest" Richard Ricci, can be damaging.
