Editing Rolling Stone (section)

===Print format===
The printed format has gone through several changes. The first publications, in 1967 to 1972, were in folded [[Tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid newspaper format]], with no staples, only black ink text, and a single color highlight that changed each edition. From 1973 onwards, editions were produced on a four-color press with a different newsprint paper size. In 1979, the bar code appeared. In 1980, it became a gloss-paper, large-format (10 × 12 inch) magazine. Editions switched to the standard 8 × 11 inch magazine size starting on October 30, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rolling Stone ends large format after 4 decades|first=Anick|last=Jesdanun|agency=Associated Press|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2008-10-14-rollingstone_N.htm|date=October 14, 2008|work=USA Today|access-date=July 8, 2014|archive-date=September 2, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060902102236/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10224178/our_1000th_issue|url-status=live}}</ref> Starting with the new monthly July 2018 issue, it returned to the previous 10 × 12 inch large format.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/cardi-b-live-events-fewer-issues-meet-the-new-rolling-stone-1530529320|title=Cardi B, Live Events, Fewer Issues: Meet the New Rolling Stone|last=Trachtenberg|first=Jeffrey A.|website=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|date=July 2, 2018|access-date=November 3, 2019|archive-date=November 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103193942/https://www.wsj.com/articles/cardi-b-live-events-fewer-issues-meet-the-new-rolling-stone-1530529320|url-status=live}}</ref>
