About the Book

In an age of ubiquitous digital media and permanent mutual observation scandals are omnipresent. Everybody can release them, everybody can become their victim. Videos on mobile phones terminate careers, Twitter messages generate outrage, and SMS messages turn into evidence. Documents of embarrassment and public disgrace today display a novel kind of lightness and agility. They can be copied in no time, spread very quickly, resist all censorship - and in the extreme case stir up worldwide indignation. The consequence: the reputation of the powerful and the powerless, of enterprises and states, can be destroyed in record time. In order to illustrate these considerations the books describes recent case-(hi)stories, discussing public figures such as Tiger Woods and Anthony Weiner, the powerful and the helpless that suddenly find themselves in a worldwide pillory.

About the Author :
Hanne Detel, *1983, is research associate at the Department of Media Studies, University of Tubingen, Germany. Her primary research concerns are media theories, mediatisation, the Social Web, scandalisation, and (unwanted) celebrity in the digital age. She studied journalism and communication as well as public law in Hamburg and Stellenbosch/ South Africa - on a scholarship awarded by the German National Academic Foundation. In parallel, she completed her practical journalism training and worked with the German Press Agency (dpa). Bernhard Poerksen, *1969, is professor of media studies at the University of Tubingen, Germany. His research projects analyse the styles of impression and image management in politics and the media, he regularly contributes comments on current affairs and debates to newspapers, radio, and television. The book he wrote in 1998 with the physicist Heinz von Foerster about the truth in perception (Truth is the Invention of a Liar) became a bestseller and is now considered a classic of systemic thought. In 2008 Bernhard Poerksen was honoured for the quality of his teaching and chosen "Professor of the Year".

Review :
"The authors... have written an analysis that is especially timely given the recent (May 2014) European high court decision allowing people to control what is said about them online... As our reviewer put it two years ago, 'this book is about loss of control and the conventional scandal and reputation management... [it] is a must.'" -- Chris Sterling Communication Booknotes Quarterly "The Unleashed Scandal is a bold attempt to tie everything from Bradley Manning, Anthony Weiner, Abu Ghraib, Tiger Woods and Monica Lewinsky into the idea that we're losing control of our data and our image at the same time... [It] does a good job of pointing out how, in the digital age, embarrassment and disgrace can fly around the world before the unlucky target has even got out of bed, let alone got dressed and tried to nail down the truth." -- Mary Branscombe ZDNet "The authors have a broad approach and touch upon issues of privacy, spectacle, defamation, anonymity, scandal, surveillance and the middle space between public and private." -- Michael Karlsson Digital Journalism
