Rolling stone magazine has been making big news lately with their new cover picture of Tsarnaev. This has started a lot of controversy surrounding the epic magazine brand. So for me this sparked an interest in knowing about who this epic brand is."Rolling Stone was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner, who is still editor and publisher, and music critic Ralph J. Gleason." Rolling stone is a U.S based magazine that is devoted to new and old music that will last through the ages. Along with there devotion to music the also like to publish things on upcoming politics and pop culture. Rolling Stone magazine got its name from the song Muddy Waters sang called, Rollin Stone created in 1950. The magazine was created in 1967 and was originally created for the hippie culture back in the 1960s. Many believe that Rolling Stone got their name from the band, which is not true. The band and the popular magazine; as you know got the name form the same song.
Today Rolling Stone magazine is aimed at the younger
demographic that actually likes to read long articles about todays top pop
culture as well as politics and new music. Rolling Stone has taken a different demographic on what
stories to publish as well as when to publish them. Most of the bigger stories
that they publish come out after everyone else has had a chance to say what
they wanted to say about the story that’s when Rolling Stone says what they
what to say in detail apposed to other articles that only give you a small view
of what happened.
