ⓘ About Jon Ronson
Highly vocal about his craft as well, he’s often found giving talks and interviews on his writing and experiences too. Engaging his audience both online and off, he’s a regular user of social-media himself, as well as writing about it. Not only that, but he’s also produced various different documentaries for television and radio as well. Many have termed his style as Gonzo journalism, whereby Ronson will make himself a part of the story, as the reader watches it unfold through his eyes. This makes for a far more personal and intimate approach, giving the reader a first-hand account of the subject in hand. Reaching readers from all around the world, he’s managed to create a brand quite unlike any other, as he continues to write to this day.
