Why not Whitmore 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 39-year-old television host, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Whitmore 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 ‘Irish Of The Year’ by some major Irish newspapers and even ‘Bray Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Bray (Laura Whitmore'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:
“Laura Whitmore Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 9 Jan 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveLaura”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 9 Jan 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Laura Whitmore?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 9 Jan 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Laura Whitmore?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
