I'll be honest, this is the first I'm hearing that Time's person of the year isn't a celebration of a given year's most positively-influential person. Granted, I don't read Time, but I don't think it's all that common knowledge that "person of the year" isn't always a compliment. I mean, I've seen several of "___ of the year" awards, and most ended with applauding and rewarding the winner; if Time wants people who don't read it to know that its award doesn't follow common conventions, it should probably title it something to obviously differentiate itself.
