About Time Person of the Year in brief
Person of the Year is an annual issue of the U.S. news magazine and website Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that has done the most to influence the events of the year. The tradition of selecting a \”Man of the Years\” began in 1927. Time has shied away from using controversial figures in the United States for commercial reasons, fearing reductions in sales or advertising revenue. Despite the magazine’s frequent statements to the contrary, the designation is often regarded as an honor, and spoken of as an award or prize, simply based on many previous selections of admirable people. The December 31, 1999 issue of Time named Albert Einstein the \”person of the Century\”. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi were chosen as runners-up. In 2020, to celebrate International Women’s Day, TIME editors released 89 new Time covers, each showing women, in addition to the 11 already chosen, for alternate Person of The Year choices for the past century.
The issue that declared Giuliani the Person of Year included an article that mentioned that Time’s decision to select Ayatollah Khomeini and the rejection of Hitler and Khrushchev as Man of The Years in 1999. The article also mentioned that Giuliani’s choice of Osama bin Laden made the year more likely that year that he would be the most likely choice for Person Of The Year. The selection is made solely by TIME editors and a reader’s poll that has no effect on the selection is also not included in the issue that declares the winner. The winner will be announced in the December 31 issue of TIME, which is published every year at 8 p.m. ET (11 p.M. ET) on December 31. The deadline for this year’s issue is midnight ET (9 p. m. ET on December 30).
