Time's 2018 Person of the Year has been awarded to Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and other 'guardians' involved in 'the war on truth'. The 'guardians' are slain Saudi journalist Khashoggi; the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, where five people were shot and killed at the newspaper's offices in June; Philippine journalist Maria Ressa, who has been arrested; two Reuters journalists detained in Myanmar for nearly a year, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam, Sudanese freelance journalist Amal Habani, Brazilian reporter Patricia Campos Mello, and Victor Mallet, Asia news editor for the Financial Times. The group as a while 'are representatives of a broader fight by countless others around the world.' Time's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal made the announcement Tuesday on NBC's 'Today' show. The magazine recognizes the person or group of people who most influenced the news and the world 'for better or for worse' during the past year.
