ROLLING STONE Magazine Arrives In India

March 7, 2008

BBC News reports that U.S. magazine Rolling Stone, famous for its music interviews and edgy, hip writing, has arrived in India.

The first issue hit the news stands last week with a quirky marketing spin — five different covers featuring LED ZEPPELIN, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, AMY WINEHOUSE, JAY-Z and ANOUSHKA SHANKAR were put out together with a mix of local and original content.

Riding on an increasingly liberal media policy which allows foreign titles to publish and a mini-explosion of home-grown rock bands in the country, Rolling Stone India is the 15th international rollout of the magazine.
