AS Media Studies - EVALUATION QUESTION 3

2. BAUER MEDIA
Bauer Media Group is a European-based media company,
headquartered in Hamburg, Germany that manages a
portfolio of more than 600 magazines, over 400 digital
products and 50 radio and TV stations around the world.
They’ve published well known magazines like Q and Kerrang!
Which fit in with my genre of indie/alternative. As Bauer
Media is internationally connected I feel that my magazine
would get published considering the alternative genre is
popular internationally too.

3. IPC MEDIA
Time Inc. UK, 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 have published magazines such
as NME and Uncut magazines which also fit into my genre of
indie/alternative. Although IPC isn’t as popular as Bauer, the audiences it
publishes to are more niches than mass audiences, meaning my magazine
could get the specified audience that I’m targeting for.

4. I think that Bauer Media will be more beneficial for my
magazine as they’re successfully international and I feel that
having my magazine sold across the world will be successful
alternative is played everywhere. They’ve proven to be a
popular company which suggests that my magazine will be well
published and distributed.
