The hallowed halls of 4 Times Square are littered with bodies, but one magazine is doing okay. Details, the eight-year-old men's magazine, will raise its rate base 25,000 to 450,000 starting with the Jan/Feb 2009 issue. It's an increase of around six percent, not much at all, but in this world any positive news is more than welcome.

"Details has had its strongest year ever in terms of both revenue and circulation, and readers continue to seek our unique editorial voice," Steve DeLuca, the VP and publisher, said in a statement.

The lesson? In a struggling ad climate, go gay.
