When did Time magazine start choosing Person of the Year?
Time magazine began following this tradition of choosing the Person of the Year in 1927, and some things have changed since then, as the magazine no longer only recognizes individuals, but also takes into account the influence of groups, movements, or ideas that have had the greatest impact during the last year.
The personality of the Year is not limited to successful people only.
US President Joe Biden was named Person of the Year in 2020 along with Vice President Kamala Harris. The annual selection is not necessarily considered a tribute, as the selection can be expanded to include negative influences, such as Adolf Hitler, who was chosen as Person of the Year in 1938; The goal is to select the most influential people.
Time magazine also expanded its tradition to include additional categories in 2019. Popstar Olivia Rodrigo was named Artist of the Year and four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles named Sports Personality of the Year.
This year's Champions of the Year title went to the scientists who developed the mRNA covid-19 vaccine, and they are Catalin Carrico, Barney Graham, Kismica Corbett, and Drew Weissman.
