T.The term “ghostwriting” was coined by Christy Walsh. Christie Walsh’s agency has been managing his celebrity literary work since Babe Ruth’s American Sports. The agency had a set of rules. One said that the new ghostwriter “normally makes the mistake of thinking he should write in the way a celebrity speaks. That’s an error. He should write the way the world thinks of his celebrity story.”
Prince Harry’s ghostwriter, J.R. Mohringer, wrote his own memoir before he began writing the lives of others. In that book The Tender Bar, he describes how he was existentially and drunkenly searching for his absentee father, a New York DJ agent. As he suggested, the quest instilled in him qualities that no doubt were later appreciated by his celebrities (including Andre Agassi and Harry). Bar developed a habit of turning everyone who crossed my path into a mentor or character. .
Möhringer must have been chosen to write the Prince’s Confession because he seemed sympathetic, unjust and talkative. But like all writers, Mohringer probably saw the project as another way for him to write about himself.
Introduction
The genesis of social media is often seen as the story of CommuniTree, which is also the story of Eden and depravity. CommuniTree was one of the first open access digital forums created in 1978 in Santa Cruz, California. Discussion boards allowed like-minded enthusiasts to discuss their favorite subjects. Users initially described it as “post-industrial cybernetic computing is coming!”
For several years, the tone of the billboard has been one of mutual respect and positive energy. However, this changed when some high school students armed with modems destroyed his CommuniTree and violated his freedom of speech to the extreme.
The savages, or “trolls” as they became known among the older members, defied the rules, encouraged violence, and ruined it for everyone. CommuniTree founders failed to deal with bullying and eventually closed the forum.
These founders heard Elon Musk talk about his new “liberated” $44 billion Twitter as a “digital town square” where “a wide range of beliefs can be discussed in a healthy way.” It would definitely be amusing. Computopia’s spring is eternal.
