Iconic American music magazine Rolling Stone is shrinking in size to match other magazines on the newsstand, reports The New York Times.
The newspaper-magazine hybrid was first published in 1967 as a tabloid-size newspaper, began printing on a four-color press in 1973 and swapped to magazine-quality paper in 1981, when it also shrank to its recently abandoned 25 cm x 30 cm size.
Rolling Stone said it will add enough pages to each issue to offset the loss of space from switching to the smaller size.
Publisher Will Schenck said: “The size is a nostalgic element but not the iconic part of the magazine. Evolution and change is part of our DNA.”

NOTE:Another word on the street is that after the DEC issue, POP magazine will cease to exist. Grapes dosent care that much for pop, so dosent feel a thing. Oh, and just read that Cosmogirl is out of print, but the site will online.
