TIME Editor-in-Chief Nancy Gibbs writes in her editor’s letter in the issue: “Our annual list of the 100 Most Influential People explores the intersection of accomplishment and renown… Some years the list has the feel of a loose, lively dinner party, people who mostly don’t know each other but would get along if they did. This year is a bit more complicated. These past 12 months have sharpened our edges as political debates in the U.S. and Europe, the Middle East and Asia, turned jagged and primal and seem almost perfectly designed to divide us more deeply… And there are several people on the list whose influence is the subject of heated debate, from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to FBI Director James Comey to White House adviser Stephen Bannon. Each has champions and critics; all are shaping the course of this turbulent year… In divisive times, it’s tempting to nestle in a comfort zone, surrounded by people who look like us, think like us, pray like us, vote like us. Yet many of the men and women on this year’s list are calling us out, using the technologies that connect us to expand how we see the world.”

Annual list of the world's most influential people Time 100Awarded for'100 most influential people'DateAnnually since 2004 ( 2004)Presented bymagazineWebsiteTime 100 (often stylized as TIME 100) is an annual of the 100 most influential people in the world, assembled by the. First published in 1999 as the result of a debate among American academics, politicians, and journalists, the list is now a highly publicized annual event. Appearing on the list is often seen as an honor, and Time makes it clear that entrants are recognized for changing the world, regardless of the consequences of their actions. The final list of influential individuals is exclusively chosen by Time editors, with nominations coming from the Time 100 alumni and the magazine's international writing staff. Only the winner of the Reader's Poll, conducted days before the official list is revealed, is chosen by the general public. The corresponding commemorative gala is held annually in, New York.
Contents.Selection criteria In 2004, Time 's editors identified 'three rather distinct qualities' when choosing people to be listed. Time 's editor-at-large Michael Elliott wrote:First, there were those who came to their status by means of a very public possession of power; President is the pre-eminent example. Others, though rarely heard from in public, nonetheless have a real influence on the great events of our time. Think of, the of Iraq's. Still others affect our lives through their moral example.
Consider 's forgiveness of his captors and his willingness to walk away from the South African presidency after a single term.For the 2007 list, managing editor clarified that the Time 100 focused on the most influential people rather than the hottest, most popular, or most powerful people. He said:Influence is hard to measure, and what we look for is people whose ideas, whose example, whose talent, whose discoveries transform the world we live in. Influence is less about the hard power of force than the soft power of ideas and example. Yes, there are Presidents and dictators who can change the world through fiat, but we're more interested in innovators like, the scientist who has developed a strain of rice that can save African agriculture. Or heroes like the great chess master, who is leading the lonely fight for greater democracy in Russia. Or -winning actor who has leveraged his celebrity to bring attention to the. History 2004–2008.2009.In 2009, the winner of the online poll was founder, who received 16,794,368 votes.
Claimed that their technical team 'did detect and extinguish several attempts to the vote'. However, it was shown weeks before the poll ended that the results had been heavily influenced by hackers. Spell out 'marblecake also '. Marblecake was an obscene 4chan, and #marblecake was the name of the channel used for communication by some of the participants in rigging the poll. 2010.In its online presentation, Time introduced the list as follows: 'In our annual Time 100 issue, we name the people who most affect our world'. The overall list was organized with four main sub-lists: Leaders, Heroes, Artists, and Thinkers. Continued her streak of having been included on every Time 100 list, and was one of 31 women on the list.
The list included many expected names and some surprises such as, who described as a premature selection at that point in his career. Others who were considered surprise selections included, and, according to the.The list included 10 Indians, but according to a local news station in, Time faced criticism when they excluded actor from the list, even though he was supposedly 'in the race'. According to Rob Cain of, 'Khan is the biggest and most revered figure in India', and Khan's fan following is one of the largest in Bollywood. As such, this decision came as a surprise to readers.The announcement of the list was celebrated by a gala at the in on May 4, 2010. The list was published the following day.
Time readers contributed to the selection through an online vote of over 200 finalists. 2011.Time introduced the list as follows: 'Meet the most influential people in the world. They are artists and activists, reformers and researchers, heads of state, and captains of industry. Their ideas spark dialogue and dissent and sometimes even revolution.
Welcome to this year's Time 100.' The announcement was celebrated with a black tie event in New York City on April 26, 2011. The honorees were joined by A-list celebrities at the for the event. Time readers contributed to the selection through an online vote of over 200 finalists.The list included familiar leaders such as and, as well as 'newcomers' to the global press. The list included numerous figures representing the in the, including rebels, political leaders, and news correspondents. Media figures unrelated to the Arab Spring were also listed. Additionally, and were part of the list during the week before their wedding.
The list also included Katsunobu Sakurai, the mayor of, which was the city most affected by the. 2012–13.2014.Revealed on April 24, 2014, the list featured on the U.S. Cover and, and on international covers. The list included 41 women, the most in the list's history. The gala was held on April 29, 2014, in New York City.
Time managing editor commented:The Time 100 is a list of the world's most influential men and women, not its most powerful, though those are not mutually exclusive terms. Power, as we've seen this year, can be crude and implacable, from 's mugging of to dictator 's summary execution of his uncle and mentor. Those men made our list, but they are the outliers, and not just because we generally seek to celebrate the best work of the human spirit. The vast majority of this year's roster reveals that while power is certain, influence is subtle. Power is a tool, influence is a skill; one is a fist, the other a fingertip. You don't lead by hitting people over the head, used to say.
That's 'assault, not leadership.' To assemble the list, we rely on our journalists around the world and our Time 100 alumni (many of whom are as influential as ever).
If there is a common theme in many of the tributes, it's the eagerness to see what some engineer, actor, leader or athlete will do next. As much as this exercise chronicles the achievements of the past year, we also focus on figures whose influence is likely to grow, so we can look around the corner to see what is coming. — Nancy Gibbs, 'The Ties That Bind the 100' 2015–2017.2018.At age 14, British actress became the youngest person to be listed. 2019.In the 2019 list, Time chose authors to write the honorees' blurbs. Some of the pairings include writing about, writing about, writing about, writing about, and writing about. Multiple appearances Each category is given equal weight every year, but some people are more likely to make repeat appearances over time.The following list includes individuals who have appeared at least three times. The order is based on the number of times each person has been listed in Time 100.
Those who are tied are listed alphabetically. Some individuals, such as Oprah Winfrey, have also been listed in Time's list of '. They are listed in bold.Listed five times or more. 2015, 2014, and 2013(Finalist in 2016)Time 100 Award trophies From 2005 to 2008, Time magazine awarded one of Darko Mladenovic's Ray crystal sculptures to each Time 100 honoree. These sculptures were produced.
Controversies Controversies over exclusions The exclusion of then-British from the 2004 list caused mild controversy. Time editor-at-large defended the decision to consistently exclude Blair, saying that ' and are not there either. This is a worldwide list. There are no Western European political leaders on it because they are not that powerful or influential at this time'.Although George W.
Bush has been on the list several times, controversy emerged when he was dropped from the list in 2007 in part because of the victory in the. Former Senator (R–PA) of said:The fact of the matter is, the president of the United States, I don't care who's in that office, is the most powerful man on the face of the Earth and has more influence over various aspects of lives, not just in this country, but around the world. And for Time magazine to dismiss that just shows you how biased and, I would argue, hateful they are., Time 's deputy managing editor who oversaw the list at the time, explained that 'any U.S. President has a certain built-in influence. Bush had actually squandered some of that built-in influence. His position on has cost him support in his own party. To a certain point, he sort of reached a status'.
Controversies over inclusions The list has also generated controversy over inclusions. In 2005, conservative commentator was listed, which led to observe:When Time magazine named Ann Coulter among its 100 'most influential people' last week, alongside such heavyweights as, Nelson Mandela, and the, the choice produced guffaws online. Plugging the issue on Fox News last week, Time executive editor insisted it was Coulter's use of 'humor' that made her so influential, stopping just short of suggesting that Coulter is the conservative.
But even Fox's wasn't buying it. He pressed Painton: 'Do you think people, Americans, listen to Ann Coulter? Do you think she has influence in public opinion?' Time magazine defended Coulter as a bestselling author whose controversial commentary strongly affected political debates in the U.S.
Coulter did not, however, make additional appearances on the list.Mistakes In February 2016, Time included the male British author on its '100 Most Read Female Writers in College Classes' list, generating media attention and concerns regarding at the magazine. Time later issued a retraction. In a interview with, professor said the mistake was 'a piece of profound ignorance on the part of Time magazine'.
Use in academic research The Time 100 was cited in a 2008 academic analysis by Craig Garthwaite and Tim Moore, economists at the. In light of Oprah Winfrey at that time holding the record for most appearances on the Time 100, the economists decided to measure if Winfrey was influential enough to decide a U.S.
Presidential election by examining the impact of her for president. The economists wrote the following:Oprah Winfrey is a celebrity of nearly unparalleled influence. She has been named to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people six times—more than any other individual, including the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, George Clooney,. She was named one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, an honor shared with,.
She was only one of four people who were included on these lists in both the 20th and 21st century. The others included Mandela, Gates, and. The scope of Winfrey's influence creates a unique opportunity to examine the effect of endorsements on political outcomes.The economists found a correlation between the number of Winfrey fans in a geographic region (as estimated by magazine sales and book club selections) and the number of votes Obama received in that region during the race for the. They found that the correlation even held up when they controlled for all kinds of variables like race, gender, income, education, and sales of other magazines. They further found that the correlation only emerged after Winfrey had endorsed Obama, suggesting that it was the influence of her endorsement that caused the correlation.
When they statistically removed the correlation to see how Obama would have performed without Winfrey's endorsement, they found that over one million votes vanished from Obama's total in the Democratic primary and that Clinton received far more votes. The 25 Most Influential People on the Internet Since 2015, Time has also published a list titled 'The 25 Most Influential People on the ', which features people whose influence and dominance may have changed Internet culture; who have support, position, and prominence in various sections of; or who use and/or rely on the Internet as a platform for change. People who have been listed range from political figures, such as and, to teenage, such as. Others who have been listed include, whose debut hit broke the record for most weeks spent atop the after being created and distributed on the Internet, and actress and presenter, who is known more widely beyond her profession for her.
