Judith Sims

Judith Sims was the editor of the rock magazine TeenSet during 1965–1969, writing many influential pieces considering groups such as the Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, the Doors and more.

[8] Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres eulogized her, saying that she had taken TeenSet above the field of teen magazines to become "one of the first publications to reflect the social and musical changes of those times".

He remembered how she and he "were partners on every level", flying back and forth between San Francisco and Los Angeles in the early 1970s, until June 1972 when she met her soon-to-be husband.

Fong-Torres said that Sims gave him an early journalism platform at TeenSet along with music/film critic Jacoba Atlas (later a television executive producer) and rock journalist Jerry Hopkins.

[11] She is a focus of the book entitled "TeenSet, Teen Fan Magazines, and Rock Journalism: Don't Let the Name Fool You" through the University of Mississippi Press, by Allison Bumsted.
