So the next issue of Rolling Stone is going to feature a story about Jahar “The Bomber” Tsarnaev. I’m looking forward to reading it — Janet Reitman has done some great work on ‘difficult’ topics — but it’s not the content of the article that has local media running indignant man-on-the-street clips to match the social media backlash…
As Margaret Hartmann at NYMag put it, “Tsarnaev’s selfie was plastered on newspapers around the world a few months ago, but no one’s written a song about the rock star connotations of being featured on the cover of the New York Times.”
