Time's 2018 Person of the Year has not been awarded to just one person, but murdered and imprisoned journalists including Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Time calls the group 'The Guardians', which also includes the five members of staff at The Capital Gazette, Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and Maria Ressa, CEO and executive editor of Rappler.
Khashoggi, a contributor to the Washington Post residing in the United States, was murdered after a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to obtain paperwork ahead of his wedding to his Turkish fiancee.

Khashoggi was a contributor to the Washington Post residing in the United States
The 59-year-old former Saudi insider was strangled before he was cut up into pieces by a team of 15 Saudis sent to Istanbul for the killing, according to Turkish officials.
There has been speculation that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the hit but Riyadh has absolved the de facto leader of any blame.
Khashoggi's remains have still not been found despite searches of the consulate, the Saudi consul-general's residence in Istanbul and two villas in northwestern Turkey.
Philippine journalist Ressa has been threatened with prison and closure of the news site she co-founded but she's fighting back.
The site, Rappler, has taken a critical stand on President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly anti-drug crackdown and now finds itself the target of grinding, unrelenting attacks from the authorities.
Ressa turned herself earlier this month to face one tax evasion charge, but could still face arrest on four other counts that she insists were crafted to bring the site to heel.
The charge carries up to 10 years behind bars.
Rappler has been among a clutch of Philippine news outlets that have questioned the methods of the president's signature crackdown, which police say has killed nearly 5,000 alleged dealers and addicts since 2016.
Maria Ressa, CEO and executive editor of online news site Rappler turned herself in earlier this month to face one tax evasion charge, which she contests
Rights campaigners say the true toll is triple that and could amount to crimes against humanity.
Yet, the site and its roughly 30 journalists, a majority of whom are women in their 20s, has kept publishing stories on the drug war.
Ressa insists the site is not anti-Duterte, saying it is just doing its job to hold the government to account.
In doing so it has invited a steady stream of online vitriol since Duterte came to power over two years ago.
Ressa's position at the head of the site meant getting, by her own estimate, up to 90 hate messages per hour online at one point toward the end of 2016.
And the staff of the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, are recognized by Time, as they continue with their coverage after five colleague were gunned down on June 28.
Jarrod Ramos is charged with five counts of first-degree murder after murdering five newspaper employees after shooting through the glass newsroom entrance.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
