Rolling Stone Adds Marissa R. Moss As Senior WriterAward-winning journalist Marissa R. Moss has joined Rolling Stone as Senior Writer. Moss has been a regular contributor to the magazine since 2008 and helped launch Rolling Stone Country.

A New York native and 15-year resident of Nashville, she will contribute to the magazine’s country music coverage across editorial, digital, and live platforms. Moss will report to Joseph Hudak, Rolling Stone Deputy Editor and Head of Country.

“When we launched Rolling Stone Country in June 2014, we did so with Marissa’s byline as a contributor. Since then, she’s been responsible for some of our most important stories,” shares Hudak.

“There’s no better place to cover country music right now, or with a bigger investment in what matters in Nashville and the South, than Rolling Stone,” Moss said. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to join the team, where I’ll get to work with the best editors and writers in the business — not to mention Joe Hudak, who has carefully edited my stories as a freelancer for over a decade. I can’t wait to bring readers work that explores the artists who are shaping the culture, the trends driving it, and investigative reports that hold the industry accountable.”
