Person of the Year

"Person of the Year," journalism's most enduring franchise, started in 1927 when TIME put Charles Lindburgh on its cover as "Man of the Year." Every year since then, this distinguished nomination has recognized the person—or people—who had the greatest influence on the events of the year, for better or worse.
