According to a credible source, George Harrison's widow Olivia Harrison is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the author's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 21/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Harrison 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 76-year-old author, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Harrison 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 author have already been named ‘Mexican Of The Year’ by some major Mexican newspapers and even ‘Mexico City Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Mexico City (Olivia Harrison's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the author was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#HarrisonPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveOlivia”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Olivia Harrison?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Olivia Harrison?
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?
