Why not Zemmour 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 66-year-old journalist, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Zemmour 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 ‘Montreuil Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Montreuil (Éric Zemmour'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:
“#ZemmourPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Éric has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 12 Jan 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Éric Zemmour?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 12 Jan 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Éric Zemmour?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
