Infographic

As Jon Ronson illustrates in So You've Been Publicly Shamed, Internet "justice"—in the Twitterverse, in particular—can be swift, harsh, and unforgiving. Our lives can be easily be ruined if  just enough elements of social media decide we are a villain. But unlike past generations that have utilized shaming as form of punishment, Internet shaming can follow an individual for the rest of their life.

For this assignment, you will create an infographic illustrating the public shaming of a person profiled in Ronson's book. Your goal is to visually tell his or her shaming story. Draw only from So You've Been Publicly Shamed for your central argument.

Guidelines:

• Use the subheading to state your thesis (which, in turn, is supported by the contents of your infographic)
• Space will be limited, so be thoughtful about which aspects of the shaming incident to highlight
• The particular shaming incident you are highlighting should dictate your infographic’s design and style
• Stay within the parameters of So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed
• Infographics can be created utilizing a number of programs, including PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Canva. If you are experienced, you may also use a program, such as Photoshop or Illustrator.
