Welcome to the 2007 FOLIO: 40—the oldest, most comprehensive and most distinguished compilation of its kind. As always, we've spent the last year examining the entire industry, as well as a few markets that intersect it, for individuals from the executive suite on down who best represent an increasingly multifaceted media landscape. Individuals who have demonstrated tangible proof of actionable ideas.

This year's list is reflective of what FOLIO: strives to accomplish with each issue-highlighting the best in the industry from consumer,
b-to-b, association, and regional publications.

The 2007 FOLIO: 40 is not all-inclusive, nor is it meant to be. There are countless success stories that could be on this list. But the individuals profiled here represent the best of what the industry has to offer along with many other inventive minds.

These reports were compiled by FOLIO: staff editors Matt Kinsman, Bill Mickey, Marrecca Fiore and Linda Zebian, and contributor Jane Zarem.
