TIME has revealed its ‘Person of the Year’ for 2019, and I would suggest that many of us saw this one coming.
Since 1927, TIME has identified the Person of the Year, recognising the person or group of people who most influenced the news and the world – for better or for worse.
The Daily Maverick are dishing out their end of year awards and whilst the tongue-in-cheek tone is not to be missed, they DO have a point here.
According to the managing editor, deciding on Time’s person of the year is “not about how good or bad someone has been but how much of a difference they’ve made.” So who has followed in the footsteps of Joseph Stalin, Mark Zuckerberg, and last year’s winner – Barack Obama?
