IPC media

• IPC media is a big distribution company that distributes magazines such as NME magazine. This is a very popular magazine and NME was one of my inspirations for my magazine. However this magazine is  a rock magazine and they have been around for a long time, in contrast to my magazine which promotes new artists and is more modern.
• NME magazine covers a wide range of genres and artists but only in special editions, however they are usually old and popular artists that feature in their magazine so IPC media may not distribute my magazine because it's mostly aimed at young audiences that listen to new artists. 

Bauer media 

• Bauer media may be a better distributor for my music magazine because the distribute magazines such as Q magazine, this is a magazine that was one of my inspirations in the making of my magazine. Q magazine covers a wide range of artists mostly popular artists from different genres. However they sometimes use new artists even though my magazine and Q Have a different target audience, I think that our audiences could cross over easily. 
• Bauer magazine is also a well known distribution company so if they distribute my  magazine it will be a bigger magazine so it will attract a bigger reader audience.  The magazines that Bauer media distribute has a simular look to my magazine so this may make them want to distribute mine.
