The Rolling Stone

Magazine

The Rolling Stones is published every two weeks. It had been founded in San Francisco, California by Jann Wenner. The Rolling Stone was known for its

musical coverage and for political reporting. In the 1990’s the magazine had changed its format which would allow it to appeal to a younger generation. In the recent years the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content. The

magazine also has political stories throughout it along with coverage of financial and banking issues. The Rolling Stone magazine covers all the

different genres of music as every two weeks when its published there are different images of different music artists who produce different genres of

music. For example they had Eminem on the front cover. Eminem’s genre of music is rap. However, Lana Del Rey had also featured on the Rolling Stone front cover and her genre of music is indie pop. Therefore, this conveys that the Rolling Stone magazine appeals to a wider mainstream audience as you

can tell from the different artists portrayed on the front cover each time of its release. As different images of different artists are put onto the front covers,

this represents a variety of groups depending on what genre of music they are interested in. Furthermore, the Rolling Stone magazine also have information on politics. This therefore indicates that a wider audience is brought in to this

magazine as their are other aspects of the magazine that other people are able to enjoy.
