History

of

Rolling Stone Magazine

Jann Wenner and the late music critic Ralph Gleason founded Rolling Stone magazine in San Francisco in 1967. Jann Wenner is still the editor and publisher to this very day. Rolling Stone Magazine is devoted to music, politics and current youth culture. It is published every two weeks.

To launch the magazine Jann Wenner borrowed $7500 from family and friends including his then soon to be wife. Rolling Stone was initially identified and reported on the hippie counterculture of the times. It distanced itself from the underground newspapers of the time, embracing more traditional journalistic standards and avoiding the radical politics of the underground press. In the very first edition of the magazine, Wenner wrote that Rolling Stone "is not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces." This has become the de facto motto of the magazine.

In the 1970s, Rolling Stone began to make a mark for its political coverage, with the likes of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson writing for the magazine's political section. Thompson would first publish his most famous work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas within the pages of Rolling Stone, where he remained a contributing editor until his death in 2005. In the 1970s, the magazine also helped launch the careers of many prominent authors, such as Cameron Crowe, P.J. O’Rourke It was at this point that the magazine ran some of its most famous stories, including that of the Patty Hurst abduction odyssey.

Rolling Stone has evolved over the years, but certain features regarded as the hallmark of the magazine, such as "National Affairs" which has been around since the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and Joe Klein, and "Rock and Roll" are still published in the magazine today. Rolling Stone also publishes "Random Notes," a section which mixes photos with tabloid like headlines. Another regular feature printed next to "Random Notes" is the "Smoking Section" which is written by Austin Scaggs.

Today, four decades since its founding by Jann Wenner, the Rolling Stone record reviews section is regarded by many sources as still one of the most influential around.
