The Protester Is Time's Person Of The Year (TVNewser)
From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, Time has deemed this the year of the protester. Yahoo! News / The Cutline: In a year when protesters fueled the Arab Spring, riots in London, and the Occupy Wall Street movement, Time managing editor Rick Stengel said the choice was virtually unanimous among the magazine's editors, and an obvious one. Adweek: Picking an abstract Person of the Year isn't original for Time, though; it's done so 11 times before since the popular franchise issue made its debut in 1927. There was The American Fighting Man back in 1950, The Middle Americans in 1969, and The Whistleblowers in 2002, to name a few. minOnline: Person of the Year is a Time tradition begun in 1927 by late founder (1923) Henry Luce's selection of Charles Lindbergh. The designee can be good or evil (Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are past examples of the latter), with the standard being that he or she had the greatest impact on the year. HuffPost: Last year's choice was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Mediaite: Hearing news of the announcement, Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade let out an audible "augh" over the news being read by Gretchen Carlson.
