1. Q3.What kind of Media Institution might distribute your media
product and why?
I think my media product’s Institution would be Vibe magazine
and the RnB magazine and MTV Music , However MTV is an
American digital cable television network that is owned by the
MTV Networks Music & Logo Group, a unit of the Viacom Media
Networks division of Viacom. , There is also MTV Unplugged
and MTV2 and MTV Hits. They are both to do with RnB Music ,
MTV Is a music channel that provides the audience with the
latest RnB music and Vibe magazine Is an RnB magazine , with
news , latest updates and music of RnB Artists. There is also
things like BBC Radio 1 who play a variety of R&B , The official
top charts and R&B Divas.
2. Who are the sorts of companies that
would publish and distribute your music
magazine?
My target audience for My Music magazine are young teenagers aged
15-18 , both boys and girls , people who like R&B. I think company’s like
Heart , MTV , BBC Radio 1 , Vibe Magazine would publish and advertise
my magazine. Well known R&B Companies are Vibe magazine , there
are also things like billboard.com which is an R&B website. There is also
Billboard hot 100 and Billboard 200.
3. Would they need a big budget to create your
magazine or a small one?
I think they would need a big budget to publish my
magazine , For the magazine to fit into the company
They would need to add certain things to my magazine
that they have In all there others , As they are
advertising a new artist I think they would want to try
and make the artist stand out and popular , so this
would take a lot of budget.
4. How much would it sell for and where/how
could you buy a copy?
I would like the magazine price range to be (2.99-4.99) and I would
like it to be sold in local shops , also shops like HMV , most news
agents and you will have a chance to order the magazine online or
have it posted to your door. My magazine could be sold worldwide
but as it is a new magazine , new artists it would have to be sold in a
certain area for it to become popular and progress , If the audience
like the magazine , then they will tell there friends and family , this
will automatically make the magazine more well known and
eventually it will progress further.
5. What sort marketing and advertising might
they need to employ in order to sell it?
Advertising like making a website to do with the magazine can help as
teenagers mostly use social networking sites this will help the word get
around about new artists , new magazine , For advertisement you have
to start out big as you want the magazine to develop further and further
from the start , I think promoting the artist , so making him/her well
known , doing more concerts , live shows , visiting new places , could all
help with advertising the magazine , so that the magazine will sell.
