Today via social media, not only is it possible for an individual to make waves in the public image of a small business or large corporation, but an average person can — with one bad decision or incidence of less-than-stellar behavior — negatively impact their life and reputation for the long term.
The book cover pictured above is So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson. Inspired by the author's 2012 online identity theft, after which he confronted the criminals, Ronson takes an indepth look at being publicly shamed on social media in present-day society. According to pre-sale reviews, Ronson's treatment of the topic is both hard-hitting and handled with humor. The book is scheduled to publish and be shipped in March of this year.
