Rolling Stone, Struggling for Readers, Names Briton as Editor: “Rolling Stone, a magazine that all but defined the American countercultural epoch, yesterday named a British managing editor schooled in the racy ways of contemporary English men’s magazines. The appointment signals the end of Rolling Stone‘s history as a publisher of epic narratives and literary journalism, in part because the owner, Jann Wenner, believes that today’s young reader has little patience for long articles.” NY Times [thanks, Spike Report]
