Why not de Benito for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 55-year-old television host, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes de Benito so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the television host have already been named ‘Spaniard Of The Year’ by some major Spanish newspapers and even ‘Madrid Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Madrid (Arancha de Benito's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the television host was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Arancha de Benito Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Arancha has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Arancha de Benito?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Arancha de Benito?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
