1. Question 3
3) What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
2. For my magazine, it does have a price on the cover of it.
This means that it would be sold in shops. Places that
may distribute it could be HMV, W H Smith and other
magazine/book shops. The internet could also distribute
my magazine, as it could advertise it on the website, or
on other social-networking sites such as Facebook,
Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube etc. As my magazine is
inspired by NME mainly and Q magazine, I researched
into where these are distributed. IPC Media is a
distributed which promotes NME. As my magazine is of a
similar genre, layout and theme I believe that if it was to
be distributed it would be distributed by either of these.
3. Specifically, to distribute my magazine I would chose IPC.
This is because it already distributes NME. I looked at
NME a lot in the duration of my magazine designing
stages, so this would be a relevant distributer as it
already distributes a well known, indie/alternative
magazine, much the same as my own. IPC media is the
UK's largest consumer magazine and digital publisher.
This means that they give good coverage for their
magazines of which they distribute. Once again, this
means my magazine would most likely distribute my
magazine, as it's qualities are extremely good. My
magazine is a monthly magazine, this differentiates from
the NME magazine that is weekly.
