The award will be presented to Zuckerberg for having created one of the most dominant business networks so quickly, and for having a global impact on the way people communicate.
Mark Zuckerberg, the youngest just 25 years creating the social network Facebook, has been designated as the ‘ Media Person of the Year ‘.
Organizers of the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival, the most prestigious event in the world of advertising, recognize the influence that a Harvard graduate has had on the future of the advertising business.
This appointment have been people like Steve Ballmer, Microsoft, Sumner Redstone, Viacom, and Silvio Berlusconi, Italian premier and media tycoon media, as published by The New York Post.
The award will be presented to Zuckerberg “for having created one of the most dominant business network so quickly, and for having a global impact on the way people communicate,” said Philip Thomas, president of Cannes Lions.
But recognition may not be enough to get in trouble Zuckerberg found, since the business blog Silicon Alley Insider revealed that the couple helped build a social network called Harvard Connection in 2003, but with intentions to build its own social network later.
The same blog reported that Facebook creator hacked e-mail accounts of editors of The Harvard Crimson to investigate whether they had planned to publish a story about how allegedly stole the idea for Facebook.
The popular social network created in 2004 now has more than 400 million subscribers and the site is translated into over 70 languages.
