Rolling Stone Magazine

As part of our media magazine project we were given a task to create a powerpoint presentation about a music magazine that was chosen for us with a partner. The magazine that I did a presentation on is an American based magazine called Rolling Stone which also has international editions in many other countries such as such as Argentina, Uruguay, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Spain, Turkey and more. 
Rolling Stone Magazine was founded in 1967 by Jann Wenner which is still the magazine's owner, editor and publisher and Ralph J. Gleason. Rolling Stone magazine has a huge popularity. Each issue reaches 1.5 million people and has the average of 228,469 copies per issue. It targets adults aged 18+ and when researching this magazine, I found out that most of the readers were young men aged around 20, most of which that are single and have kids in the household. 
Rolling Stone has improved MASSIVELY over the years. Around 44 years ago, Rolling Stone used to look more like a newspaper but nowadays, due to softwares such as photoshop, it looks more like a typical magazine look with better quality images which have been edited and airbrushed. Each front cover of Rolling Stone usually has one big image of a celebrity (mainly singers) which usually covers some parts of the title which has the same font and colour in every issue. 
Rolling Stone also has an online version of the magazine which shows news, reviews, channels and blogs although they do not put too much on there as much as they would in the actual magazine because they want people to buy it instead of reading it online for free.
