ADVERTISING revenue in the Far Eastern Economic Review increased by 11.6 per cent in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year, according to the Rome Report.

It was the third successive year of double-digit advertising revenue growth for the magazine.

Other business titles such as the Asian Wall Street Journal, The Economist and Fortune also showed gains on the back of increased activity in financial services, but advertising revenue levels for major consumer titles such as Time, Newsweek and Asiaweekwere either flat or down.
