QUESTION 3: WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MUSIC MAGAZINE AND WHY?
BAUER MEDIA
Bauer Media is one of Europe's biggest owned publishing groups and is also a worldwide empire. They have over 300 magazines up for sale and they also own other publications such as radio stations and TV programmes.
Bauer Media
Bauer Media produces big music magazines already such as Kerrang and Q which are also rock magazines so we would have a similar target audience, so no extra research would need to be done, unless they want to aim it at a different age group. This would benefit me because if they were to also produce, it would put a lot less pressure on me as they know what to do with the target audience. Because Bauer Media are such a huge company, they would make my magazine quite a large success.
Bauer Media
Because my magazine is slightly different to the magazines they already produce such as Kerrang and Q, this can benefit me as I may gain more of a following by people who like alternative rock rather than heavier rock like Kerrang. Bauer media would distribute my magazine to places such as post offices and places in a busy shopping centre shops such as HMV and retail. Also they would sell them online so people can order them off the internet so it then gets delivered.
Bauer Media
Bauer Media has a great reputation as it is known worldwide so this is a massive benefit because if they do take my magazine then that great reputation will make people expect good things from my magazine. My product would be mainstream due to it being similar to Kerrang and Q, plus being produced by Bauer Media people will be bound to buy the new product they own! It would only help Bauer Media also.
Bauer Media
Bauer Media would advertise my magazine through some of their other publications, such as through radio stations and TV adverts. It would also be clear to see on their website as it would be a new product, so they would want it to get a strong start. This is similar to magazines like Q and Kerrang. Also my magazine would likely get it's own website so people would be able to subscribe to my magazine and would get updated magazines every two weeks, to their home address.
