The Ebola caregivers were named Time's Person of the Year Wednesday morning.
Earlier in the week, Time Magazine editor Nancy Gibbs announced the shortlist of people being considered for Time‘s Person of the Year 2014.
Appearing on the “Today Show” Gibbs narrowed the list to these eight names:
• Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc.
• Taylor Swift, singer
• Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL
• Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
• The Ebola caregivers
• The Ferguson protestors
• Masoud Barzani, President of Iraqi Kurdistan
• Jack Ma, the founder of the Alibaba Group
Previous winners of the title were Pope Francis in 2013 and Barack Obama in 2012.
Gibbs said Swift, the lone entertainer on the list, was deserving to be included for her impact as a businesswoman in 2014 for her decision to pull her music off of the streaming service Spotify.
