人人都在为一个女孩的失踪奔走相告。在这场耐人寻味的完全自发的全球缉凶行动中，媒体乐此不疲地发挥着助推剂作用，因为它们十分清醒：无论马德琳案如何收场，自己都会是最大的赢家。
最出名的失踪女孩
对于马德琳失踪案的社会影响力，英国《泰晤士报》的评论文章这样写道：“马德琳已经从一名失踪小孩升华成一个公众形象，绑匪不得不在超乎寻常的舆论环境里，面对马德琳父母通过媒体这台强力机器所发出的警告。”迄今为止，累计高达500万美元的悬赏（其中多为社会名流自发捐出），对绑匪形成的社会压力不言而喻。
一个失踪小孩激起了巨浪。英国媒体从未像今天这样关注一个遗失的小孩。两个星期以来，那张身着艾弗顿球衣，笑容可人的小女孩照片从英国传到葡萄牙，从欧洲传到全世界。英国失踪人口救助中心主管保尔•图尔希说：“在马德琳失踪前我接到过450起儿童失踪报告，但我从没有见过如此有影响力的失踪事件。它的社会效应是全球化的。”保尔很清楚，媒体成就了马德琳案的轰动。
马德琳效应还在发散
轰动是空前的：南非电视台滚动播出马德琳失踪案的进展；英国《太阳报》的读者疯狂下载马德琳的照片，并在互联网上给熟人留言：“把它们传给所有人，无论是国内朋友还是国外的陌生人。”
据悉，截至18日，寻找马德琳的专题网站的点击率已经超过5000万！
在媒体帮助下，两名效力于英超的葡萄牙国脚———曼联中场小小罗和切尔西后卫费雷拉，通过葡萄牙和英国的电视台表达了帮助小女孩的愿望。随后，特里、兰帕德、亨利等著名球星都呼吁大家行动起来。“我们需要尽一切可能去帮助警察，”贝克汉姆举着马德琳的照片在电视中说，“如果你看见了这个小女孩，请尽快与当地的警方联系。”
5月16日，马德琳的寻人启事走进欧洲联盟杯决赛赛场。在格拉斯哥汉普顿体育场举行的西班牙人对阵塞维利亚的比赛中场，5万多球迷在24平方米的屏幕上看到了马德琳的照片。当马德琳可爱脸庞出现的一瞬间，《不要忘记我》的背景音乐也随之响起。比赛结束之后，很多球迷议论最多的不是比赛的结果，而是这个可爱的小女孩。
现在，马德琳效应还在发散。如果这个4岁小女孩能够平安归来，她是否能明白，全世界在2007年为她所做的意义非凡？正如保尔•图尔希所言：“我多么希望每一名失踪儿童都能得到马德琳的待遇。”
祝福马德琳。本报记者廖爽
Latest Update - ITV News
Madeleine parents believe she is safeThe parents of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann said they had taken "tremendous strength" from the "warmth and spiritual outpouring" from all around the world.
Gerry and Kate McCann issued a brief statement from the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz 11 days after their little girl disappeared from their hotel room.
The pair said they were "fully supporting" the police investigation into their daughter's abduction and reaffirmed their belief that their daughter is safe.
Mr McCann said: "Until there is concrete evidence to the contrary, we believe Madeleine is safe and is being looked after".
Madeleine's mother also emphasised that the couple had no intention of returning to Britain from Portugal in the immediate future.
A British legal team has flown to Praia da Luz to help them and has launched a special "fighting fund" to help in the hunt for Madeleine.
A statement from the International Family Law Group, the firm instructed by the McCanns, said details of how people could make donations would be released within days.
A QC, Michael Nicholls, has also been instructed by the family as their determined battle to find Madeleine enters another week.
Madeleine's uncle John McCann, who lives in Glasgow but was in Praia da Luz last week, said the lawyers would play a liaison role and would not interfere with the criminal investigation.
A spokesman for the International Family Law Group said yesterday: "Gerry and Kate are very grateful for all the support and generous offers of help that they are receiving.
"Details of how contributions can be made to help get Madeleine back to the safety of her own family will be made available in the next couple of days."
The McCanns were among around ten British people who have been re-interviewed by police in recent days to clarify their statements.
This week some of the witnesses are expected to appear in court behind closed doors to record their evidence before they go back to the UK.
The McCanns themselves are not expected to be asked to take part.
The procedure, known as "memory for the future", means taped statements can be shown during a future trial so the witnesses do not have to return to appear in court.
