Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone covers are typically reserved for rock stars, but their latest cover is anything but. Boston bomber Jahar Tsarnaev graces the iconic mag’s front page, and it’s caused quite a stir amongst the community. The accompanying article “delivers a deeply reported account of the life and times” of Jahar, sourced from 2 months of extensive interviews with some of his closest friends, family, peers, teachers and more. The mag promises to “deliver a riveting and heartbreaking account of how a charming kid with a bright future became a monster,” but many seem to think this would have been far better suited for a mag like TIME. What do you think?
