Every December, Time Magazine crowns a "Person of the
Year." Below is an article naming this year's winner
as each one of us. I found this both refreshing and
inspiring, and I invite you to share your opinion on
the surprising choice. Do you feel the honor has been
rightfully bestowed? What one individual would you
choose for "person of the year"? Maybe it's a celebrity,
a politician or a family member who has gone above the
call of duty in your eyes. Now is your chance to honor
them. Please share your ideas!
Time magazine's Person of the Year: You
Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of
the Year."
The annual honor for 2006 went to each and every one of
us, as Time cited the shift from institutions to
individuals — citizens of the new digital democracy, as
the magazine put it. The winners this year were anyone
using or creating content on the World Wide Web.
"If you choose an individual, you have to justify how
that person affected millions of people," said Richard
Stengel, who took over as Time's managing editor
earlier this year. "But if you choose millions of people,
you don't have to justify it to anyone."

The magazine did cite 26 "People Who Mattered," from North
Korean dictator Kim Jong II to Pope Benedict XVI to the
troika of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and
former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
And Stengel said if the magazine had decided to go with
an individual, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was
the likely choice. "It just felt to me a little off
selecting him," Stengel said.
The 2006 "Person of the Year" package hits newsstands
Monday. The cover shows a white keyboard with a mirror
for a computer screen where buyers can see their
reflection.

It was not the first time the magazine went away from nam-
ing an actual person for its "Person of the Year." In 1966,
the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American
women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.
"I always love it when it's a person — and it is a person,
not a computer or something like that," Stengel said. "We
just felt there wasn't a single person who embodied this
phenomenon."
Last year's winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock
star Bono, who were cited for their charitable work and
activism aimed at reducing global poverty and improving
world health.
