Time Magazine Person of the Year Cover Revealed /

This morning, Time Magazine revealed its famous 'Person of the Year' cover, where they named "the protester" their person of the year. Now, normally this honor belongs to a person, so I think it was fun and creative that Time used this anonymous protester. According to the magazine's top editor, here's why they did it:

“Everywhere, it seems, people said they’d had enough,” Stengel stated. “They dissented; they demanded; they did not despair, even when the answers came back in a cloud of tear gas or a hail of bullets. They literally embodied the idea that individual action can bring collective, colossal change. And although it was understood differently in different places, the idea of democracy was present in every gathering.”
