Gone Country: Rolling Stone will launch a country music news website early next year and is opening offices in Nashville with 10-15 editorial staffers, Ad Age reports. "There's a really big void in the digital coverage of country music as far as giving it the serious attention it deserves," says Rollingstone.com Dir. Gus Wenner, who adds the format's popularity is simliar to that of NASCAR. "I saw some similarities and thought it could be an opportunity for Rolling Stone."

The Boot founder Beville Darden-Dunkerly will be Sr. Editor. More here.
