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.
Some of the Rolling Stone’s
pages

Here is an image of what is in the Rolling Stone
magazine that I have chosen. This double page
spread is about the artist Avicii celebrating his
success. This would attract the audience that are this
artists fan. Also, the image used in this would attract
the target audience as it shows the lifestyle of this
artist in the picture and the confidence and relaxed
manner of him.

Here is another page of the Rolling Stone magazine I had chosen. It
highlights certain events on a variety of artists which illustrates the
idea that the Rolling Stone magazine aim to appeal to a mainstream
audience as they include many different features and genres which
would attract a wider audience. This double page spread concerns
information about music artists and celebrities and their personal
lives. This would be of an interest to most people as fans take an
interest in celebrities personal life.
