Time has released its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Julian Assange makes the list as a “muckraker,” but Time’s public relations folks don’t include him on a list of media figures. (Update: A Time rep tells me there are no official categories; she just flagged these names as being of interest.) Here’s the list, posted on Huffington Post:
- Oprah Winfrey
- Joe Scarborough
- Arianna Huffington
- Chinese journalist Hu Shuli
- Al-Jazeera English correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin
- Saad Mohseni, co-founder of Afghanistan media company Moby Group
- Hung Huang, Chinese fashion mogul and head of fashion magazine iLook
Business Insider included Assange on its media list, as well as Mark Zuckerberg and Michele Bachmann.
