Time magazine has selected 4 person/groups for the person of the year 2018
All were journalists or least related to a journalist
Jamal Kashogi
The Guardians
Maria Ressa
Wives of Myanmar's Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo
What I am not in favor of is Maria Ressa of Rappler, this online news portal's aim is to make money, they use exaggerated subject title to get the attention of readers and they are a known critic of the current president of the Philippines which is Rodrigo Duterte. At least among the favorites, there's one who we're selected which is Jamal Kashogi.
The result was both unexpected and potentially controversial for some people. Have you seen however the
choice explaining video?
Thanks for the link. I watched the 5 minute video about the people who we're selected as Times Person of the Year. I agree with the freedom of speech but I also support "responsible journalism". I don't have the back ground of the other selected Person of the Year awardee, but with regards to Maria Ressa of Rappler, she and her company is not practicing "responsible journalism". They hide behind the "freedom of speech" but their reports will just benefit those who are against the Philippine government. They focus on the negative but don't give media mileage on the projects that the goverment was able to finish on time and projects the benefits a lot of people.
