Evaluation- Q5: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

The media institute I have chosen to represent my magazine is Bauer Media Group. I have chosen Bauer as my institution because I think they would be the best company to distribute my magazine to the wide target audience that it has. Also I know Bauer have a strong reputation with music magazines as they represent Kerrang which is a similar style of magazine to mine. This is helpful as I know they are already successful with similar music magazines. Bauer have a strong relationship with advertisers so I would trust them to ensure that my magazine contains the correct advertisements that will appeal to my target audience. Finally as Bauer have such a good reputation in the media industry I thought they would be the best to go with because they will give me the highest quality of service as they have such a good reputation to keep up in the industry.

Evaluation- Q5: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Magazines that inspired me


            

There are two main magazines that have inspired the creation of my own music magazine, these are Kerrang and NME. Both of these magazines influenced many elements of my magazine and helped me form something that will definitely appeal to my target audience.

Before deciding what institution will publish my magazine I wanted to look at what institutions publish the magazines that inspired mine so I know which company would be best for my magazine.

Kerrang are distributed by Bauer Media Group which are a very well known company for publishing magazines and have a good reputation in the industry. Where as NME are distributed by IPC Media which is another strong publishing company. This will help me in deciding what company will distribute my magazine because now I know what companies work well with my style of magazine and the target audience.
