'Rolling Stones' Background Information...
This is a Rolling Stone magazine, it is a major magazine in the U.S and appeals to a mass audience. It is devoted to music, liberal politics and popular culture, and is published every two weeks. It was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner, who is still editor and publisher. In the 1970's it was known for its political coverage, but then changed its format in the 1990's to appeal to younger readers, often focusing on young television or film actors and pop music. However this led to a lot of criticism so in recent years it has altered to involving in depth information about politics etc. therefore appealing to a mass audience.
Why I uploaded this to my blog..
I chose to upload this to my blog because this is the type of magazine I would like to create. I want to make a magazine involving 'popular culture' and things like politics just like Rolling Stone, purely because I want it to appeal to a mass audience. Apart from the politics and popular culture, there are other things I'd take from this magazine and use in mine, for e.g. having a good looking boy/girl on the front cover and having an eye catching masthead that people will notice straight away in the shop.
