In Depth: 2009's Most Powerful Fashion Magazine Editors

To compile our list of the America's most influential fashion editors, we considered the top editor of every monthly U.S.-based magazine that features a significant amount of fashion editorial, including teen magazines. Monthly unique user numbers for each Web site, provided by comScore, told us how well each editor's title is transitioning from print to the online format. We also looked at advertising revenue from the first half of 2009 and compared it with revenue from the first half of 2008; both were culled from the Publishers Information Bureau (PIB), a division of the Magazine Publishers of America. The number of advertising pages for the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008, also from PIB, was another factor. We also considered the year-over-year change in circulation for the first half of 2009, provided by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. These measurements told us how many people are sure to read magazine each month and how much advertisers are willing to pay to capture the attention of those readers. Finally, we calculated the number of times each editor's name was found in Factiva and on Google Blog Search over the year ending on Aug. 31, 2009. All factors were ranked and then averaged for a final ranking.
