Rolling Stone is an American monthly magazine founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner and music critic Ralph J. Gleason. Politically described as left-wing and liberal, it originally gained widespread recognition for its in-depth coverage of rock music and the political reporting of Hunter S. Thompson. Its inaugural issue featured John Lennon on the cover, launching a legacy of provocative cover photography that has spotlighted musicians, politicians, and actors for decades. While the publication briefly shifted its focus in the late 1990s to target a younger demographic with pop-culture trends, it has since returned to its core mix of music and political content. After a rapid rise to prominence in the 1970s, the magazine faced severe financial turmoil in the 21st Century. This economic decline led to a phased sale of the company, resulting in Penske Media Corporation acquiring full ownership of the magazine by 2019.
