The Atlantic appears to have hit upon a winning formula for print/digital magazine hybrids, with ad revenues in both areas up in the third quarter, 3% and 41% respectively.
If that first figure seems low, writes Lauren Indvik, consider that print revenues dropped 10.4% at The New York Times Company during the same period. Also, The Atlantic’s overall ad revenues were up 19%; ad revs from iPad and iPhone apps accounted for 2% of total reps, and traffic to its three Web properties more than doubled compared to a year earlier, to 10 million per month
