Filipacchi, who publishes Paris Match and eleven other French journals, will retain 51% ownership of the magazine (six French partners control the rest). Wenner will remain Rolling Stone's editor and publisher, assume those titles at Look, and merge the two publications' advertising, circulation and administrative staffs...
