What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Bauer Media
- The Bauer Media Group owns magazines such as Q and Kerrang!
- I used Q as my main style model and looked at some covers of Kerrang! also so I believe that my magazine could potentially be distributed by Bauer as they distribute magazines much like mine
IPC Media
- IPC Media is a distribution company owned by Time Inc. which automatically makes it a contender
- It distributes NME Magazine which I also used as inspiration so I believe my magazine could also be distributed by IPC
Thrust Publishing
- Thrust Publishing would not be a good distributor for my magazine as it distributes magazines such as DJ Magazine which does not share the same features as my magazine
- It is also quite small compared to IPC or Bauer so this would also be a set back
Conclusion
I believe a company such as Bauer Media would be the most appropriate for distributing my magazine as it distributes magazines which were an inspiration to mine and are very similar
Thank you for your attention!
