Description	So You've Been Publicly Shamed (2015) is a book by British journalist Jon Ronson about online shaming and its historical antecedents. The book explores the re-emergence of public shaming as an Internet phenomenon, particularly on Twitter. As a state-sanctioned punishment, public shaming was popular in Colonial America. Between 1837 in the UK and 1839 in the US, it was phased out as a punishment, not due to increasingly populous society, as widely held, but instead due to rising calls for compassion.In gathering material for his book, Ronson interviewed several individuals who were on the receiving end of concentrated Internet shaming, including Jonah Lehrer, Justine Sacco, and Lindsey Stone. He also interviewed controversial practitioners of 21st century public humiliation, including former Texas County Judge and current congressional representative Ted Poe, and several instigators of widespread public shamings.
