MAIN TASK.Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
By Adam Bath
• Immediate media would be a good institution to publish my magazine.
• I say this, because they have experience of publishing magazines aimed at my magazine’s target audience
• The magazines that they publish for this target audience include:
• Top of the Pops
• CBeebies Weekly
• Doctor Who Adventure
• Horrible Histories
• These magazines link into my magazine’s target audience, because they are aimed at the children’s market
• As a result, it would fit in well with this collection and as it is a renowned publisher that produced these well known magazines, it will possibly add to more people purchasing the magazine
IMMEDIATE MEDIA.
• IPC Media would not be suitable for my music magazine
• This would be because of the target age range that these magazines are aimed at
• The vast majority of the magazines on the left, which are the magazines published by IPC Media, are aimed at young to mature adults:
• Nuts
• NME
• Woman’s Weekly
• This example of magazines show why they would not suit in with my music magazine which is aimed at pre-teens, to teenagers.
• Therefore, my music magazine would not fit in with IPC Media’s portfolio.
IPC MEDIA.
• Haymarket would not be a suitable publisher for my music magazine• This is because of the genre of magazines that they are aimed towards. These magazines are
mainly motoring/business based:• Autosport• F1 Racing• Asian Investor
• The predicted target age range for this publisher would probably be male adults, and as a result, my magazine would not fit in with the target audience as well as age range
Haymarket.
