The BCNN1 Man of the Year and Woman of the Year recognizes people of faith who impact culture and society with their Christian worldview. In Matthew 5, Jesus Christ calls His followers to be salt and light in the world. He states clearly, "Ye are the salt of the earth...Ye are the light of the world." BCNN1.com recognizes the men and women who have been salt and light in an increasingly dark society.

One of the most influential ways to challenge and influence culture is through the written word published on the largest communication medium in history -- the internet. These men and women have used the internet as a tool to speak out on important and controversial issues that shaped the news in 2012. BCNN1.com recognizes that contribution.
