2. IPC MEDIA
IPC Media (formerly International Publishing Corporation),[1] a wholly owned
subsidiary of Time Inc., is a consumer magazine and digital publisher in the United
Kingdom, with a large portfolio selling over 350 million copies each year.
IPC media has 3 publishing departments that group its
current titles under three magazine divisions each focusing on a core
audience.[10]
Connect — mass market women
SouthBank — upmarket women
Inspire — men
IPC media would be a good distributor for
my magazine because it has a global
publishing side something the other two do
not have

Group. The Group is a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries,

Bauer media would be a good distributor for my
magazine because of its large distribution base in
the uk and could help the magazine find its own
target audience by getting into so many shops across
the united kingdom
