Economist country-by-country circulation map

By conrad

A site produced by the Economist’s UK Ad marketing team featuring a breakdown of the Economist’s magazine circulation and website hits is bouncing around Twitter today.

The site presents the Economist’s ABC circulation numbers in a slick Flash presentation format, which allows you to filter the results by country and continent, and to export the data as a chart.
