The Economist Tops AdweekMedia's 2008 Hot List

AdweekMedia, the folks behind Adweek, Mediaweek and Brandweek have put out their annual Hot List, which honors, "the publications and creative talents that keep consumers coming back to the newsstands." Like the good bloggers we are, we adhered to today's embargo after receiving a copy of the list on Friday.

The Economist jumped to #1 on this year's list, which is judged by a variety of metrics, including, "ad page and revenue gains; performance within a magazine's competitive category; circulation gains; interviews with media buyers and consultants, and AdweekMedia's own editorial judgment." In addition, Paul Rossi and editor John Micklethwait took home the "Executive Team of the Year" award.

People.com won "Magazine Website of the Year," as traffic increased 48% in 2007 to 6.3 million monthly unique users.

Surprisingly, all publications in the top 10 had advertising revenue gains of at least 10% in 2007.

Full rankings after the jump.
