For the first time ever in the Hot List’s 30-year history, Adweek’s editors asked readers to share their picks for the hottest magazines, newspapers, TV broadcast and cable networks, websites and digital media brands via a poll on Adweek.com.
And we certainly heard from a lot of you. A whopping 182,000 votes were cast in October.
