NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 \u201cThe Protester\u201d has been named Time\u2019s \u201cPerson of the Year\u201d for 2011.<\/p>\n

The selection was announced Wednesday on NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show.<\/p>\n

The magazine cited dissent across the Middle East that has spread to Europe and the United States, and says these protesters are reshaping global politics.<\/p>\n

Last year, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg got the honor.<\/p>\n

Time\u2019s \u201cPerson of the Year\u201d is the person or thing that has most influenced the culture and the news during the past year for good or for ill. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke received the honor in 2009. The 2008 winner was then-President-elect Barack Obama. Other previous winners have included Bono, President George W. Bush, and Amazon.com CEO and founder Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n

Time said it is recognizing protesters because they are \u201credefining people power\u201d around the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
