“The protester” has been named Time’s Person of the Year.
The magazine unveiled the choice on Wednesday morning. Managing editor Richard Stengel also revealed the decision on the “Today” show. Stengel said that finalists included Kate Middleton and Congressman Paul Ryan.
Steve Jobs and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords did not make the short list because they appeared elsewhere in the magazine. “It’s not a lifetime achievement award,” Stengel said of the award.
Time has bestowed the famous distinction on one person (or group of people, or, in the case of such choices as “The Earth” and “You,” an idea) every year since 1927. Last year’s choice was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Below, watch Stengel’s announcement and see all of Time’s choices for Person of the Year dating back to 1980. Tell us what you think of the latest Person of the Year in our poll below.
