2007’s Media Person(s) of the Year: Writers on Strike
By fred | December 3, 2007
After running a poll, website IWantMedia.com (edited by Patrick Phillips, an adjunct professor in the journalism department at NYU) announced the result of a poll they conducted in which was determined who the media person of 2007 was, and the successor of Stephen Colbert last year and others such as Anderson Cooper (2005) or Jon Stewart (2004) before him is… drum roll please… the writers on strike !
Coming in first with 56% of the votes, ahead of Rupert Murdoch, Perez Hilton, or even Google itself, the striking writers were voted as the most newsworthy figures in media this year. Let’s just hope they can’t be nominated for that same award next year as well…
