Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi emerges as the cover of Times Magazine. He was a Saudi Arabian journalist, dissident, author, and a general manager and editor-in-chief of Al-Arab News Channel who was assassinated at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 by agents of the Saudi government. Time magazine named slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi and a number of other journalists as its 2018 “Person of the Year.”
Time recognized the journalists who have been targeted for their work, and labelled them “The Guardians.”
The magazine is releasing four covers featuring Washington Post columnist Khashoggi, the surviving staffers of the Capital Gazette newspaper, the wives of Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and Rappler editor Maria Ressa. Khashoggi is believed to have been killed in October at the direction of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
