1. Task 7 – Choose a magazine that caters for music in a similar genre to the one
you would like to do for your coursework other than an IPC title. Who Publishes
it? Look closely at this publisher and find out if it would be appropriate as a
publisher for your magazine. What target audience does it cater for? What other
music magazines does it publish?

Bauer Media is a division of the Bauer Media Group, Europe’s largest privately owned publishing Group. The
Group is a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries, as well as online, TV and radio
stations. Bauer Media joined the Bauer Media Group in January 2008 following acquisition of Emap plc’s
consumer and specialist magazines, radio, TV, online and digital businesses. Collectively, the Group employs
some 6,400 people; Bauer Media would be an appropriate publisher for my magazine because aswel as there well
known reputation, one of their published music magazines: ‘Q’ has an audience composed of passionate,
engaged and open minded music fans driven to continually discover new music - and to use this lust for discovery
to influence their friends. The audience is split 75% male to 25% female which will be the same ratio of the
audience of my magazine. Although Q has a much wider target audience then my magazine I still believe that its
structure on most issues is quite simple, using basic rule of thirds and simple fonts but stand out with the house
style used. Most of there issues also most of the time look at serous stories in the music world and that is what I’m
aiming to put across, to the audience it seems all fun and games but showing it from the Artist point of view, its
their life and they struggle at times to keep on track with it and I believe Q show this through the main images they
use on artist face expressions and gestures, also linking it with language used.
Bauer Media caters for target audiences such as: Women, Gossip lovers, Young adults, Men lifestyles, Gardeners
and many more publishing magazines like, heat, more!, Mojo, Empire, FHM, Your Horse and Garden News.
