97.3 FM’s Bianca Dye admits it’s been a ‘confronting day’ following sensational headlines
Bianca Dye, part of the trio who make up the Bianca, Mike and Bob breakfast program on 97.3 FM in Brisbane, has found herself on the front page of The Sunday Mail today, admitting the “sensationalistic” and “clickbait” headline has been difficult to deal with.
Dye has a well-documented battle to conceive a biological child in recent years, and this week was due to appear in the News Corp-owned The Sunday Mail in its U On Sunday lift out.
Dye has found the front-page coverage ‘confronting’
The story details her conception battles, including miscarriage, and reveals she’s out of options for conceiving a biological child with her current partner. Her only option, according to the story, is to use some frozen embryos from a previous relationship – something her current partner is grappling with.
I’m sorry but this story only exists because she wants it to… she can’t claim poor me and my poor partner… when its her that started the story in the states biggest paper…
I think you’ve missed the point. There is an argument she ran about the need to not sensationalise and that she shared her story for the reason of promoting egg storage with what I perceive is a motivation to help others. Cooperating with a journalist, or even seeding a story, is different vs calling out sensationalism that doesn’t have regard for the emotional and mental wellbeing of those involved
As a husband involved in numerous cycles myself, I can only ask that due consideration given to the emotional and mental wellbeing of the partners as well who go through this journey. This is more than often ignored. Sensationalism like this does not nothing to help anyone in this type of journey. If anything this story in itself has inadvertently called out the need to consider sensitivity to those involved in what is usually a very personal journey, and be considerate of how we treat it in the public sphere when we do.
