3. Bauer
I would want ‘Bauer’ to distribute my magazine as it is a hugely well known, successful
publishing company, and publish over 80 magazine of varying genres such as Closer,
Kerrang, Q, FHM, Heat and Grazia. This company also writes, designs and publishes
many other magazines and radio stations of all genres so is likely to publish my
magazine with a target audience of young adults and teenagers. Magazines such as
Kerrang cater for a fairly niche musical taste but is a hugely successful magazine.
I think my magazine would be successful with this company as it fits with the range
of genres they sell, but they currently don’t distribute any magazines of the same
style as mine so they would want to publish and distribute something they haven’t
got already.

4. Comparing magazines
I think my magazine would fit in with other magazines from Bauer
distributors as I have used forms and conventions, but looks different
enough to stand out to the audience.
