Why not Chain 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 62-year-old journalist, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Chain so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he 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 ‘Neuilly-sur-Seine Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Emmanuel Chain'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:
“Emmanuel Chain Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Emmanuel 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 Emmanuel Chain?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Emmanuel Chain?
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?
