The editors of Time Magazine have made their choice for the 85th Person of the Year - The Protestor.
In Editor Rick Stengel's words the Protestor was chosen - "for capturing and highlighting a global sense of restless promise, for upending governments and conventional wisdom, for combining the oldest of techniques with the newest of technologies to shine a light on human dignity and finally, for steering the planet on a more democratic though dangerous path for the 21st century."
