An article in Miller-McCune magazine about an analysis of Rolling Stone magazine covers conducted by UB sociologists Erin Hatton and Mary Nell Trautner that found female artists are increasingly presented as sex objects. Their research showed a "dramatic increase in hypersexualized images of women" on the magazine's cover between its founding in 1967 and their 2009 study.
