Maybe the real answer is for Time to stop trying to do a "Person of the Year" and instead do a "Story of the Year."
Let's face it: Their "person of the year" only really works about one third of the time. The other two thirds of the time they either end up upsetting people by choosing a controversial, or even loathed, person (Hitler, Khomeini) or they end up having to choose a non-human like "Planet of the Year" or "Machine of the Year."
