1. Magazine Research

2.  The first magazine research I will do is based on
what I can find online. I have used Google and
Wikipedia, as well as some other web sites to find
the information I needed. Therefore, I will do
some more research later on where I will go to
different shops, and see what kind of magazines
that are most common in shops. I tried to find the
10 most popular music magazines that are made
in the UK. I couldn’t find a new list, but I found
one from 2006, where 9 of the 10 magazines still
were made. I therefore, decided to use that list
and do some research on the magazines.

3. Top Magazines in the UK
 Q Magazine - Published by Bauer Media Group
 Mojo - Published by Bauer Media Group
 The Fly - Published by MAMA & Company
 Uncut - Published by Uncut
 Kerrang! - Published by Bauer Media Group
 NME - Published by NME
 Classic Rock - Published by TeamRock
 Metal Hammer Published by TeamRock
 Mixmag - Published by Disco Mix Club

6.  After some research on 9 different
magazines I found out that many of the
magazines are published by the same
publisher. The most common one (that I
found) was Bauer Media Group.
Therefore, I decided to do some
research on Bauer Media Group, to get
an idea of what they publish. Therefore,
I again used Google and Wikipedia to
collect information about the two
different companies.

7. Bauer Media Group
 Bauer Media Group is an music company,
they produce radio, TV, print shops,
postal, distribution and marketing
services. Therefore, Bauer Media Group
is the UK’s most influential media brand
network. They are the publisher of 3 of
the 9 magazines I did research on.
Therefore, it is understandable that they
have a lot of influential on the British
media brand network.
