Founder Defends Lack of Diversity in Upcoming Book Despite Backlash

Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner defended the lack of diversity in his book "The Masters"
Wenner claimed Black artists "just didn't articulate at that level" and that he selected artists based on personal interest
He said he didn't interview women because they weren't as "intellectually articulate"
Wenner acknowledged the need for diversity for "public relations sake" but said he doesn't care about it
Wenner's comments sparked criticism for overlooking talented diverse artists and dismissing the importance of diversity
