ELI5: Why do some children's disappearances spark nationwide news coverage while some only get talked about locally?

For example, there's a boy in my local area who has been missing nearly two weeks (feared abducted). Why hasn't this been shown on national news like other disappearances?

The editors in the national media will only run something if there is something special about the story. This can be some weird twist, or attractiveness of the abductor or whatever. People go missing all the time and it wouldn't be possible for the national media to report on every case.
