"Our selections are led by the stories that are shaping the world each year and the people who write them. Some are well known to many, others only within their fields," Time editor in chief Sam Jacobs says. "To find them, we poll our editors, reporters, and sources around the world, and review the recommendations that are sent to us every day. Few people, we suspect, will be familiar with all 100 individuals."
"We believe that is part of the appeal of the TIME100, now well into its third decade, and the reason it has endured. In recent years, we've been busy growing the TIME100 community by focusing on the areas we believe shape the future -- including AI, Climate, Health, and Philanthropy, as well as emerging fields in which individuals, such as digital creators, are playing an outsize role," he continued.
The list is "decided over a period of months through consultation with TIME editors, reporters, and sources worldwide."
