MAGAZINE HOT LIST

The 2008 Magazine 'Hot List', '10 Under 50' List


The Hot List annually recognizes consumer magazines with a recent track record of standout advertising revenue and page growth. To be considered, a title's ad results must be tracked by the authoritative Publishers Information Bureau. For the Hot List a title must have been published for at least three years and must have taken in $50 million or more in annual ad revenue. When compiling the Hot List we evaluate circulation, consider performance against category peers, and consult with a number of the most influential media buyers, who provide insight on which magazines they and their clients favor at the moment.

Social networking. Video sharing. Music downloads. Celebrity gossip. The hottest trends on the Web owe much to the indomitable sites on our third annual Adweek Media Digital Hot List. Among the millions of purveyors of online content, these select players are those that have, over the last year, grabbed the attention of consumers, marketers, the press and pop culture--generating explosive growth in closely watched metrics even as they make headlines for technological innovation, mega ad pacts and buzzworthy content.

MEDIA OUTLOOK

Media Outlook 2008


It has become a standard assumption among prognosticators of media investment that presidential contests and the Olympics will “lift all boats” every four years. For media already on a roll--network TV, digital, out-of-home--the outlook for 2008 is, indeed, full steam ahead. But deep-pocketed White House aspirants and the overhyped, overprogrammed quadrennial games will do little to turn vessels running aground, forecasters concur.

Upfront Preview: Returning Series


What with the writers strike having shortened next fall's pilot season, and with broadcasters' post-strike plans to cut back on production, it's no surprise that the networks intend to rely more on returning shows next season than on new ones.

The Programming Insider: Friday 5/09/08

2008-05-09

Before I get into the overnights rating results, let me focus on CBS' Survivor: Micronesia for a moment. Erik…are you crazy? Nuts? Cuckoo? Meshugenah?

All I can say at this point is…go Cirie!
