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.
