Wenner Media Company Description
How does it feel to be a complete unknown? The rock stars that grace the cover of Rolling Stone wouldn't know. Magazine publisher Wenner Media owns Rolling Stone, the flagship music publication that remains a pop culture icon more than four decades after its first issue. The company also publishes men's lifestyle mag Men's Journal and gossipy entertainment title US Weekly. In addition, Wenner Media operates Web sites for its magazines. Partnering with Hyperion, the company has also started a book imprint focusing on non-fiction titles. All of this reflects the tastes of the man in charge -- chairman Jann Wenner, who started Rolling Stone in 1967. The magazine celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.
