1. Question 3: What kind of media
institution might distribute your
media product and why?

2. Publishing Houses
• My magazine could potentially be owned by
IPC Media or possibly Bauer Media because
they own magazines of a similar genre to
mine.
• Examples:
NME is owned by IPC.
Kerrang! Is owned by Bauer.

3. Distribution
• My magazine will be most likely sold in a newsagent,
book store like WH Smith or entertainment stores.
• They would be available for purchase online via
subscription on the website or each issue via online
stores such as Amazon.
• They can also check the website and social networks
for the latest news which will be also included in the
magazine.

4. Publication
• A new issue of my magazine will be released
every month. I have many pages in my
magazine so it is suitable for the release gap
