According to a reliable source, Jean-Claude Bourret is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the journalist's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Bourret 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 83-year-old journalist, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Bourret 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 ‘Lyon Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Lyon (Jean-Claude Bourret'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:
“Jean-Claude Bourret Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveJean-Claude”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jean-Claude Bourret?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Jean-Claude Bourret?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
