Rolling Stone’s Top Editor Steps Down

Noah Shachtman, the top editor of Rolling Stone, is stepping down at the end of the month after a stint of more than two years at the helm of the pop culture bible.

In a brief note to employees that was seen by The New York Times, Mr. Shachtman said his last day running the magazine would be March 1, but he did not elaborate on the reasons for his exit.

 

CNN reports:

Noah Shachtman, the hard-charging editor with a knack for scrutinizing the rich and powerful, announced Friday that he is resigning from his post as editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone, following discussions with the iconic music and culture magazine’s top boss about the publication’s direction.

Shachtman, who will formally step down on March 1, said in a statement that he was “so proud” of everything he and his team have accomplished over his two-and-a-half-year tenure, but signaled that he had differences with Rolling Stone chief executive Gus Wenner.​

Is Rolling Stone *really* a "pop culture bible" still? They certainly were in the 1990s when I first heard of South Park and Britney Spears.
