		</div><p>Time magazine has named four journalists and a newspaper as its 2018 Person of the Year for standing up for the truth in the face of persecution and violence.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/88DA5376-A739-42E5-8159-62F55BD59A5B.jpeg"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/88DA5376-A739-42E5-8159-62F55BD59A5B.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="776" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-122015" /></a></p>
<p>The group, which Time calls the “guardians”, comprises:</p>
<p>– Murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi<br />
– The Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, where five people were shot and killed at the newspaper’s offices in June</p>
<p>– Philippine journalist Maria Ressa, who has been arrested<br />
– Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who have been detained in Burma for nearly a year</p>
<p>“They are representative of a broader fight by countless others around the world — as of December 10, at least 52 journalists have been murdered in 2018 — who risk all to tell the story of our time,” editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal wrote in an essay.</p>
<p>Time selected them “for taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts that are central to civil discourse, for speaking up and speaking out”.</p>
<p>Mr Khashoggi was killed two months ago when the Washington Post columnist, who lived in the US, visited Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Turkey for paperwork so he could get married. He had been critical of the Saudi regime.</p>
<p>Ms Ressa is an award-winning Philippine journalist who, along with the online news service she heads, has been sued for tax evasion.</p>

<p>Her website has been critical of the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and she claims the charges are politically motivated. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo have been imprisoned for nearly a year in Burma after investigating a massacre of Rohingya Muslims.</p>
<p>Four journalists and a sales assistant were killed by a gunman at the Capital Gazette newspaper in June.<br />
Since 1927, Time has selected individuals or groups to appear on its covers for the end-of-the-year feature.</p>
<p>This was the first time someone named was no longer alive. Those chosen this year will appear in four different cover photos. President Donald Trump, who was Person of the Year in 2016, was second runner-up.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/9194F7E8-1DA6-4793-9B87-BB9113202807.jpeg"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/9194F7E8-1DA6-4793-9B87-BB9113202807.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="337" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-121835" /></a></p>
<p>“His ultimate impact may be determined as much by the resistance he engenders as by the goals he pursues,” the magazine said. Special prosecutor Robert Mueller was third runner-up.</p>
