Harris Publications would be the best company to publish the author's magazine because it publishes over 75 titles on a wide range of topics including music, exercise, and small business. In particular, the author's magazine, which contains exercise facts and health help, aligns well with Harris Publications' titles like XXL and Exercise & Health. While Vibe magazine is also a well-recognized company, the author's research found their magazine would be a better fit with XXL's target audience and mix of music and exercise content.

1. What Kind of Media Institution Might
Distribute Your Media Product and
Why?
From research I have identified that that the
magazine “VIBE” is published by spin media.
Spin media is a well-recognized company and
blog network based in Los Angeles. It owns a
community of pop culture websites. The
magazine “XXL” was published by Harris
publications. Harris Publications is an American
consumer-magazine publisher in New York City
that publishes over 75 titles, including XXL,
King, Dog News, Small Business Opportunities,
Exercise & Health, Celebrity Hairstyles, and
many more. I believe out of the two
companies, Harris publications would be the
best company to publish my magazine. The
reason being is because not only do they create
magazines based on rap, however they also
create exercise magazines, and seeing as my

2. content page consists of exercise facts/help, I
believe my magazine would work well and would
be approved by Harris publications.
I did consider vibe seeing as they are a well-
recognized company, nationwide, with a large
number of audiences, however from research I
have been able to identify that my magazine
fits in better with XXL in terms of
genre/target audience/content. Alongside that,
XXL magazine are recognized for a number of
things such as exercise, music etc therefore
they wont have to do special promotion in
order for the magazines to be sold successfully,
in terms of a large number.
