Evaluation Question 3.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media
product and why?
There are many different distributers of magazines, both online and off. These
include…
The Bauer Media Group
publish Kerrang!
Magazine.
IPC distributes the New Musical
Express (NME) magazine.
Jann Wenner distributes the Rolling
Stone magazine.
The Bauer Media Group also publish Q
magazine.
Smash Hits magazine is
published by EMAP Limited.
Kerrang magazine is also published as a webzine.
NME magazine is also published online.
I have decided that my magazine will be both printed and in the form of a webzine. This is
because I feel that with the advances of technology in this day and age, my magazine
would reach more of my target audience if it is also published on the internet too (Especially
since my target audience were born in the age of technology).
My music magazine would be distributed by Bauer Media Group much like my style model Q magazine. This is my
choice because Bauer Media Group have published and distributed many successful music magazines. This
company also has a lot of influence in the industry and I feel that this would help my magazine in becoming well known; furthermore, the types of
magazines that the Bauer Media Group have they same target audience as my
magazine (Young adults/teenagers) therefore they understand how to direct
the audience.
