2. Baumer Media group would publish my magazine as it is similar to Q and Kerrang magazine as
Q magazine specializes in indie, rock and alternative and Kerrang specializes in rock music. My
magazine genre is alternative rock so I can clearly see that my genre would work with these
factors. As this company are the publisher of two magazines closely related to my genre, it is
likely that my magazine will effectively be styled to fit the genre and target audience. Q
magazine was funded in 1986 and was later on sold by EMAP in 2008 to the Bauer Media
Group and progressively did well for sales and publicity which tells me that this media
company are good at styling this magazine and choosing appropriate articles to stand out to
the target audience. They will be able to use their music channels to promote my magazine
and using Kerrang with be benefitial as this will be suited for my target audience. I feel overall
my magazine is suited for the style of magazines the company appear to be interesting and I
will be able to benefit from their publicity and experience with magazine production in order
to achieve the most publicity.
