Rolling Stone was founded in 1967 by Jann Wenner and
Ralph J. Gleason. It was named after Muddy Waters s1950’s song “Rollin’ Stone.”
It was originally aimed at an older age group by focusing on music coverage and
politics however in 1990 it was adapted to appeal to a younger audience by
introducing television shows, actors and popular music. Recently the magazine has returned to its old
ways by incorporating political stories. The magazine shifted its focus in 1980
towards celebrity entertainment, this included celebrity gossip, television,
music and pop culture. This led to the introduction of the annual “Hot
edition.”
