The document discusses the IPC media group and their history of publishing various magazine types over the years. It provides a timeline of magazines published from the 1800s to today, covering genres like music, women's interests, TV, sports and more. The IPC would be an appropriate publisher for a new music magazine due to their experience with successful music titles like NME and knowledge of the genre. They may look to publish rock/indie or pop magazines that fit their existing audiences.
