3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
For my magazine, it does have a price on the cover of it. This means that it would be sold in shops. Places that may distribute it could be HMV, W H Smith and other magazine/book shops. The internet could also distribute my magazine, as it could advertise it on the website, or on other social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube etc. As my magazine is inspired by NME mainly and Q magazine, I researched into where these are distributed. IPC Media is a distributed which promotes NME. As my magazine is of a similar genre, layout and theme I believe that if it was to be distributed it would be distributed by either of these.
Specifically, to distribute my magazine I would chose IPC. This is because it already distributes NME. I looked at NME a lot in the duration of my magazine designing stages, so this would be a relevent distributer as it already distributes a well known, indie/alternative magazine, much the same as my own. IPC media is the UK's largest consumer magazine and digital publisher. This means that they give good coverage for their magazines of which they distribute. Once again, this means my magazine would most likely distribute my magazine, as it's qualities are extremely good. My magazine is a monthly magazine, this differentiates from the NME magazine that is weekly.

choose one and state plainly why they would choose to distribute your magazine. consider the other music magazines in the publishers portfolio and explain how and why your magazine would fit in.
ReplyDeletecut out the references to Bauer and just focus on IPC. mention taht your magazine is a monthly title, this will help to differntiate it from NME.
