'Time' Magazine's 2018 Person of the Year: Slain and Imprisoned Journalists Time refers to the group of <br />journalists targeted for <br />their work as, "The Guardians." The magazine released a <br />series of four black and <br />white covers, focusing <br />on "the War on Truth." Included in the group is slain <br />Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Kashoggi is the first person <br />who is deceased to be named <br />a Person of the Year by Time. The CIA has concluded that <br />Khashoggi's murder was <br />ordered by the Saudi Crown Prince. Also included in "The Guardians" <br />are Reuters journalists <br />Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. The two remain <br />imprisoned in Myanmar. The slain journalists from <br />The Capital Gazette in <br />Annapolis, MD, were also <br />named among "The Guardians." Maria Ressa is the <br />subject of the <br />fourth Time cover. CEO of the Philippine news <br />website Rappler, Ressa was <br />indicted last month <br />on tax evasion charges. Civil liberties groups <br />have referred to her <br />indictment as a Philippine <br />crackdown on dissent. Ed Felsenthal, 'Time' editor, via CNN
