Rolling Stone is a biweekly magazine that focuses on popular culture. It was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by
Jann Wenner, who is still the magazine's publisher, and music critic
Ralph J. Gleason. It was first known for its musical coverage and for political reporting by
Hunter S. Thompson. In the 1990s, the magazine shifted focus to a younger readership interested in youth-oriented television shows, film actors, and popular music. In recent years, it has resumed its traditional mix of content.
