According to a top source, Ariane Massenet is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the journalist's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Massenet 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 59-year-old journalist, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Massenet 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 journalist have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Pau Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Pau (Ariane Massenet's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the journalist was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#MassenetPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveAriane”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Ariane Massenet?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Ariane Massenet?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
