Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone is a monthly magazine from the United States that covers topics related to music, politics, and popular culture. It was established in 1967 in San Francisco by Jann Wenner and music critic Ralph J. Gleason. Initially, the magazine gained recognition for its rock music coverage and political insights from writer Hunter S. Thompson. In the 1990s, Rolling Stone expanded its focus to attract a younger audience interested in television shows, movies, and contemporary music. However, it has since returned to its original blend of subjects, including music, entertainment, and political issues.
