The tradition of choosing "Man of the Year" began in 1927, with the editor's Time contemplating newsmakers year after year. The idea was also an attempt to correct editorial shyness earlier that year because it lacked Charles Lindbergh's aviators on its cover following its historic trans-Atlantic flight. At the end of the year, it was decided that the cover story featuring Lindbergh as the Man of the Year would meet both goals.

Controversial choice
Regardless of the statements that often appear in the magazine, the title is often regarded as an honor, and is spoken of as a tribute or reward, based only on the choices of those who are praised before. However, Time magazine shows that controversial figures such as Adolf Hitler (1938), Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), Nikita Khrushchev (1957) and Ayatollah Khomeini (1979) have also been awarded the title for their impact.
As a result of the public reaction received from the United States to name Khomeini as Man of the Year in 1979, Time has gone away from the use of controversial figures in the United States for commercial reasons, fearing a reduction in sales or revenues advertisement.
Time 'People 2001, immediately after the September 11, 2001, attack was the mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani. Selected selection rules, individuals or groups of individuals who had the greatest influence on the news this year, made Osama bin Laden more likely to vote that year. The issue stating the Giuliani Person of the Year included an article mentioning The previous time decision to vote for Ayatollah Khomeini and Hitler's 1999 rejection as "Person of the Century". The article seems to suggest that Osama bin Laden is a stronger candidate than Giuliani, as Adolf Hitler is a stronger candidate than Albert Einstein. The choices are ultimately based on what the magazine describes as who they believe to have a stronger influence on history and which best represents that year or century. According to Time, Rudolph Giuliani was chosen to symbolize America's response to the September 11 attacks, and Albert Einstein was chosen to represent a century of scientific exploration and wonder.
Another controversial choice is the "You" option 2006, representing most or everyone to advance the information age by using the Internet (via eg blogs, MySpace, YouTube, and Wikipedia).

Online Polls
The Time magazine also conducts online polls for readers to choose who they believe to be Person of the Year . While many falsely believe the winner of the poll to be Person of the Year , the title, as mentioned above, was decided by the Time editor. In the first online poll to be held in 1998, wrestler and activist Mick Foley won by over 50% of the vote. Foley was removed from the poll, and the title was given to Bill Clinton and Ken Starr, which caused anger from Foley fans who mistakenly believe the winner of the poll would be the title winner. In 2006, the winner of the poll with a wide margin was Hugo ChÃÆ'¡vez, with 35% of the vote. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in second place. Left again ignores the results, not mentioning them in the Person of the Year announcement. Time continues each year running an online poll for "People's Choice", but emphasizes the decision on who acknowledges the magazine is not made by polls, but by magazine editors.
