Times Most Influential

April 24, 2014 by  

Times Most Influential, Time magazine’s 2014 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world is out, featuring a diverse lineup of business leaders, politicians, athletes and celebrities.

Several versions of the Time 100 cover show singer Beyonce, actor-director Robert Redford, GM CEO Mary Barra, and openly gay NBA player Jason Collins vying for the title as this year’s most influential person.

“Beyonce doesn’t just sit at the table. She builds a better one,” Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg wrote of the “Drunk in Love” hitmaker, whose past 12 months included a surprise album and a sold-out Mrs. Carter World Tour.

Syracuse native and Syracuse University alumna Megyn Kelly also made the cut, thanks to her new prime time Fox News Channel show “The Kelly Files.” Political commentator Brit Hume told Time he knew she would be a star 10 years ago when he saw the audition tape for a local TV reporter then named Megyn Kendall.

“She was a lawyer and new to the business, but her tape displayed as full a set of the qualities of a network correspondent as I had ever seen: great looks, strong voice, authoritative yet cheerful presence and obvious intelligence. In other words, limitless potential,” Hume wrote. “She was too good to last as a mere correspondent, and she didn’t. The rest, as they say, is history.”
Kelly, 43, was born in Syracuse and attended Tecumseh Elementary School in the Jamesville-DeWitt school district. When she was nine years old, her family moved to the Albany area, but she later returned to Central New York to pursue a career in broadcast journalism at SU.
