What can century-old advice columns tell us about the Internet today? This book reveals the little-known history of advice columns in American newspapers and the virtual communities they created among their readers.Imagine a community of people who had never met writing into a media outlet, day after day, to reveal intimate details about their lives, anxieties, and hopes. The original "virtual communities" were born not on the Internet in chat rooms but a century earlier in one of America's most ubiquitous news features: the advice column.Newspaper Confessions is the first history of the newspaper advice column, a genre that has shaped Americans' relationships with media, their experiences with popular therapy, and their virtual interactions across generations. Emerging in the 1890s, advice columns became unprecedented virtual forums where readers could debate the most resonant cultural crises of the day with strangers in an anonymous, yet strikingly public, forum. Early advice columns are essential--and overlooked--precursors to today's digital culture: forums, social media groups, chat rooms, and other online communities that define how present-day American communicate with each other.By charting the economic and cultural motivations behind the rise of this influential genre, Julie Golia offers a nuanced analysis of the advice given by a diverse sample of columns across several decades, emphasizing the ways that advice columnists framed their counsel as modern, yet upheld the racial and gendered status quo of the day. She offers lively, surprising, and poignant case studies, demonstrating how columnists and everyday newspaper readers transformed advice columns into active and participatory virtual communities of confession, advice, debate, and empathy.

Longtemps sollicitée par la grande presse brésilienne pour répondre au « courrier du cœur », l'auteure en a tiré ici une nouvelle forme d'éducation sentimentale. « Sénèque transmet son savoir sur la vie sous la forme d'un échange épistolaire avec ses amis. J'ai voulu retrouver sa démarche. […] J'adopte le point de vue de l'écrivain qui a une formation psychanalytique et me limite à indiquer un chemin permettant de déboucher sur une solution. Pour répondre aux questions, je fais une analyse rigoureuse du texte qu'on m'envoie, mettant en relief les mots utilisés, les lapsus et les répétitions. Je souligne ce qui est important pour que mon correspondant puisse découvrir la raison de sa souffrance. Plus je m'attache à creuser sa subjectivité, plus le lecteur s'identifie. Ce qui me guide, c'est le désir d'apprendre et de faire passer deux idées de base. La première, c'est qu'il est aussi important de se libérer des préjugés que de la tyrannie du sexe… La seconde idée, c'est que pour s'affranchir de son inconscient, il faut prendre en compte son existence et interpréter ses manifestations quand il le faut. »
