Other things haven’t changed. As always, part of the magic of the TIME 100 is the pairing of writer and subject; this year you’ll hear from Bono on humanitarian Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin on iconoclast Glenn Beck, Cyndi Lauper on pop icon Lady Gaga, Jeff Koons on the artistry of Steve Jobs, and Phil Donahue on the talk-show legend that is Oprah Winfrey. We also enlisted a few of our own writers to profile people in their fields — for example, TIME’s political columnist Joe Klein on Admiral Mike Mullen, with whom he’d recently traveled to Afghanistan.
If you're reading this, you probably already know that non-profit, independent journalism is under threat worldwide.

We believe that our readers deserve to know the full story. Truthdig writers bravely dig beneath the headlines to give you thought-provoking, investigative reporting and analysis that tells you what’s really happening and who’s rolling up their sleeves to do something about it.
Like you, we believe a well-informed public that doesn’t have blind faith in the status quo can help change the world. Your contribution of as little as $5 monthly or $35 annually will make you a groundbreaking member and lays the foundation of our work.
