Time editor Nancy Gibbs several years ago explained that “The Time 100 is a list of the world’s most influential men and women, not its most powerful, though those are not mutually exclusive terms …. While power is certain, influence is subtle…. As much as this exercise chronicles the achievements of the past year, we also focus on figures whose influence is likely to grow, so we can look around the corner to see what is coming.”
The full list and related tributes to the Time 100 appear in the April 27 issue of the magazine, available online today (April 16) at http://time.com/time100 and at newsstands and for tablets on Friday, April 17.
