Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:30:33 GMT

(WJW) -- Time magazine has named Taylor Swift its "Person of the Year."Every year, Time chooses an individual, group or concept that has had a strong influence on the world — for good or bad — to receive the distinction. This year, it's Swift's turn."It’s hard to see history when you’re in the middle of it, harder still to distinguish Swift’s impact on the culture from her celebrity, which emits so much light it can be blinding," Time magazine's Sam Lansky wrote of Swift's influence in the article. "If you’re skeptical, consider it: How many conversations did you have about Taylor Swift this year? How many times did you see a photo of her while scrolling on your phone? Were you one of the people who made a pilgrimage to a city where she played?" Norman Lear, ‘All in the Family’ producer, dies at 101 Lansky further pointed to a number of Swift's notable 2023 moments, including her much-publicized relationship with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, her two chart-topping a...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:30:33 GMT

(CNN) — Famed television producer Norman Lear, whose wildly successful TV sitcoms including “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons” fused comedy with trenchant social commentary and dominated network ratings in the 1970s, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles, his family announced on his website. He was 101.“Norman lived a life of curiosity, tenacity, and empathy. He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all,” his family said. “He began his career in the earliest days of live television and discovered a passion for writing about the real lives of Americans, not a glossy ideal.

However, he stuck to his conviction that the ‘foolishness of the human condition’ made great television, and eventually he was heard.”Beginning with “All in the Family” in 1971, Lear’s shows tackled fraught topics of racism, feminism and social inequalities th...
