The Economist Tops AdWeekMedia Hot List

The economy’s in the tank, but at least one business pub is faring fine. AdweekMedia awarded the top spot in its 28th annual Hot List to The Economist, which saw ad revenue jump 24 percent in 2007. The mag’s publisher Paul Rossi and editor John Micklethwait doubled up, winning “Executive Team of the Year” award. We’re just glad someone’s making money in this climate.

After the jump, AdWeek‘s top ten.
