UNIONDALE, N.Y., Jan. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marquis Who's Who (MWW), the world's leading biographical publisher, is proud to announce the individuals selected for the fourth quarter of the 2022 Maker's List by releasing the Power List. The Maker's Lists are curated by a selection committee and compiled by MWW Maker's List administrator Lisa Diamond with an aim to recognize both established and emerging leaders in their respective fields.
"In 2022, we have witnessed global events that have conjured a vast range of emotions, including bouts of inspiration and joy suffused with hints of melancholy that have inspired in us the drive to persevere and succeed," said Lisa Diamond, administrator of the Maker's List. "These emotions have, no doubt, been guided by the substantial influence of global leaders, innovators and thought provokers - all of whom have stirred dialogue about what it means to be a citizen of Earth." Diamond continued, "In the final installment of this year's Maker's List, we aim to highlight individuals whose steadfast dedication to their causes has transformed 2022 and beyond."
The Power List includes:
-- Dmitry Muratov: Muratov, a Russian journalist and the editor-in-chief of
the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021
alongside Maria Ressa for safeguarding freedom of expression in global
journalism. In March 2022, Muratov sold his Nobel Peace Prize medal to
an auction, having thereafter donated its proceeds to UNICEF to support
refugees from Ukraine. Notably, his medal sold for $103.5 million, the
highest price recorded for a Nobel medal. Revered extensively for his
advocacy of creative expression, Muratov also earned the International
Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists in 2007,
recognizing his courage in defending the freedom of the press amid
dangerous circumstances. He was awarded the Legion of Honour from the
government of France, its highest civilian award, in 2010.

the first Black woman and the first former federal public defender to
