So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a 2015 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 the increasingly populous society, as was widely held, but instead in response to rising calls for. Modern-day shaming is an intense, and thanks to the internet lightning-fast form of social control. In his new book, So Youve Been Publicly s new book, So Youve Been Publicly Shamed, digs into a strange phenomenon of the participatory Internet. From time to time, it seems as if every user of social media rises up as one to denounce, shame and remove an apparently deserving victim. The first few times Ronson witnessed this, he was intrigued - even exhilarated. Charming Jon Ronson has always made me think of a Kurt Vonnegut character, and not just because his name calls to mind the maddening refrain, from Slaughterhouse-Five, of My name is Yon Yonson. Vonnegut ranks among the most moral of male novelists writing in English. We love Jon Ronson. Hes thoughtful and very funny. is a great book about the way the internet can gang up on people and shame them, when they deserve it, when they dont deserve it and its great. Judd Apatow. Jon Ronson is unreal. So Youve Been Publicly Shamed everyone should read that book. Hes one of my favorite human beings. Bill Hader. They had been shamed into acquiescence.

Jon Ronson is a Welsh journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, screenwriter, and radio presenter whose works include the best-selling The Men Who Stare at Goats and The Psychopath Test.

He has published nine books and his work has appeared in British publications such as The Guardian, City Life and Time Out. He was totally destroyed, Ronson explains. He sounded exhausted, like hed been inside some spinning machine designed by aliens to test the effects of stress on humans. Ronson offers some fresh reporting from Lehrers much-mocked appearance at a Knight Foundation event, for which Lehrer received 20,000 to speak about his downfall. Lehrer eventually cops to Ronson that he didnt want to do it, but he needed the money. It might also look at issues of class, particularly at how many of the people shamed-though not those in this book-are often guilty of nothing less than being dumb or low class. Think of the notorious Florida man archetype. Listen free to Jon Ronson So You've Been Publicly Shamed.
