1. What kind of media institution
would distribute my product.

2. IPC Media
IPC media, or International Publishing
Corporation, is one of the UK’s main
magazine distributors.
Some of the things they publish are NME,
look magazine, amateur photographer
magazine and many more.

3. Bauer Media Group
Bauer media group are a Germany based
distributor, and they operate in 15
countries worldwide, including the UK.
Some of the magazines they publish are
Kerrang, Q, Take a Break, Bella, and more.

4. Who I think would distribute my
magazine
I think that my magazine would best be distributed by Bauer media
group, simply because they are the people who publish Kerrang, and I
think in many ways my magazine is closest to Kerrang than any other.
They both feature similar kinds of music, and if produced, mine would be
the same ‘feel’ as Kerrang, as in it wouldn’t be very thick, and it wouldn’t
have a particularly solid spine.

5. Where I think my magazine would be
sold
I think my magazine would be sold in supermarkets, or newsagents, as the
majority of magazines are sold there. My magazine would not really be sold
in schools, or on university campuses, because I feel that it is not that kind of
magazine, it is intended for anybody to read, even if they don’t really fit into
the bracket which is my target audience, and so I wouldn’t like to make It
exclusive to certain people e.g. students.
