TIME's 2018 Person of the Year: 'The Guardians and the War on Truth'

Four journalists and one newspaper "are representative of a broader fight by countless others around the world."

A group of journalists whose work has landed them in jail — or cost them their lives — has been named TIME’s Person of the Year for 2018.

“Like all human gifts, courage comes to us at varying levels and at varying moments,” the magazine’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal wrote in an essay about the selection. “This year we are recognizing four journalists and one news organization who have paid a terrible price to seize the challenge of this moment: Jamal Khashoggi, Maria Ressa, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo and, the Capital Gazette of Annapolis, Md.”

I await Trump's twitter storm on not getting this.

I doubt Trumples is even interested, after all he's been there once already (2016?). Anyway this is the group that chose Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin, twice for Uncle Joe by the way. Kind of makes me question their judgement or perhaps their criteria.

Their criteria is "the person or persons who has had the most influence on world events". Hitler and Stalin don't qualify for that, in your opinion?

The only choice I really find fault with is when they picked Rudy Giuliani in 2001. It really should have been Osama Bin Laden.

Trump's never won. Although he has fake Time covers of him hanging up at various Trump properties.

Well it's not called good person of the year. It's a reflection on human nature that the most influential people in history often aren't so for nice reasons.

No, Vic's right, he was person of the Year in 2016. LINK

But yeah, it's a measure of historical influence, not an accolade.

Thanks for the correction. My mind's been mush this month.
