- The document discusses different options for distributing a music magazine, including major publishers like IPC and independent publishers. - IPC is identified as one of the main magazine distributors in the UK and would be a good choice since they distribute popular music magazines and have an international reach. - In contrast, EMAP is identified as being better suited for more formal business magazines rather than an entertainment magazine. - Major publishers like IPC will only publish magazines they feel will increase profits and feature popular, famous artists to ensure sales, while independent publishers are more likely to feature unknown artists.

Media Institution Who Would Distribute My Product
Immediate Media Company (IMC) would be a good potential distributor for the magazine because they already publish magazines in the same pop genre and target audience. IMC is an established and respected modern company. However, IMC's magazine "Top of the Pops" is similar competition. Time Inc. is also a potential distributor as they have experience distributing over 350 million magazines annually. They publish magazines like NME in a different genre so would have space in the market for the new magazine. Time Inc. is also a large prestigious company that could provide publicity. The magazine would cost around the same price as other magazines to appeal to the target audience.
Question 3
InterMedia Partners, which publishes Vibe magazine, would not be a suitable publisher for the student's R&B magazine since it only publishes Vibe and the magazines have similar target audiences. Bauer Media Group, which publishes magazines like Q and Kerrang!, would be a better option since it does not have an R&B-focused magazine and being based in the UK, the student's magazine could be the first R&B magazine published there, opening up a new market. Overall, Bauer Media is concluded to be the best publisher as it has international reach, few competing magazines in the R&B genre, and publishing the new magazine could attract new audiences and make money.
Question 3
The document discusses distributing a rock music magazine through Bauer Media, a publisher known for magazines like Kerrang! and Q that target a young audience. Bauer would be a good fit because they already have success with similar rock magazines. The magazine would also be sold in music stores, supermarkets, Dawsons music megastore known for appealing to musically-minded young people, Asda supermarkets with a wide UK reach selling various magazines, and local smaller stores/minimarkets for easy accessibility near readers' homes.
What media institution would distribute your magazine
Bauer Media circulates over 38 million magazines weekly including titles like KERRANG, Q, and MOJO. While Bauer could be a suitable publisher due to its reputation in rock magazines, publishing with Bauer may cause competition with its existing title KERRANG and reduce sales for a new magazine. IPC Media publishes magazines like Country Life and Women's Weekly but no alternative rock magazines, leaving a gap in the market. However, IPC's target audiences may not be suitable for a magazine targeting young alternative/indie rock fans. After weighing the pros and cons, Bauer Media is concluded to be the best choice as a publisher due to its reputation in rock magazines and the niche focus of a new alternative/indie
Media evaluation q3x
A media institution is a company that produces various media products like films, magazines, and websites for a target audience. Examples of media institutions for music magazines include IPC Media (now TimeInc.Uk), which publishes magazines like NME, and Bauer, the largest privately owned European publisher of magazines like Kerrang and Q.
The document discusses a magazine focused on famous 21st century rap artists, including interviews, events, reviews and news. Due to budget constraints, it can only afford an in-depth interview with the new rap artist featured on the cover. The goal is to both update fans and promote this up-and-coming artist, Mc Subeef.
Hip Hop Weekly would be a suitable media
Media evaluation question 3
The document discusses which type of media institution would be best suited to distribute the author's music magazine called "Fusion". It analyzes the biggest current music magazine publishers like IPC Media, Bauer Media Group, and Wenner Media. It determines these large institutions already publish magazines covering similar genres to "Fusion", so distributing through them could negatively impact existing magazine sales or the potential revenue of "Fusion". Instead, the author concludes a smaller institution like the BBC would be a better fit, as its magazines have very specific genres that don't compete directly with "Fusion", allowing it to find its own audience without cannibalizing other magazine sales.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential institutions that could distribute a new R&B music magazine. It suggests that MTV, MTV Unplugged, MTV2, MTV Hits, and Vibe magazine would be suitable options as they focus on R&B music content and news. These companies have audiences interested in R&B artists and genre updates targeted to young people aged 15-18. Advertising the new magazine across these established music and artist platforms could help promote the new content and artists featured in the magazine.

Seymour Distribution is the largest distributor of UK magazines globally, distributing to over 90 countries. They distribute many magazines but only one music magazine, DJ Mag. The document suggests Seymour may be interested in distributing a niche music magazine like the one proposed due to its larger global audience. However, Seymour's current magazines seem aimed at an older audience, not the target age of the proposed magazine. While Seymour could possibly distribute the new magazine given their interest in adapting to market changes, the document concludes they may not be the perfect institution due to the audience mismatch.

Rhinegold Publishing is a top UK publisher of music print media. They publish magazines that target niche audiences, mainly in the areas of classical and dance music. While Rhinegold focuses on classical magazines, they do publish different varieties of music magazines and offer digital content. Therefore, Rhinegold could be a suitable distributor for a new vintage music magazine aimed at a younger audience, as it would fit within their interests.
Question 3.3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a new R&B music magazine. It suggests that MTV, MTV Unplugged, MTV2, MTV Hits, Vibe magazine, BBC Radio 1 could all be suitable as they focus on R&B music content and news. These companies regularly cover new R&B artists and promote up-and-coming musicians. Distributing the magazine through these established music and R&B-oriented media outlets could help promote both the new artists featured and the magazine itself to target audiences interested in R&B.
Q3
The document discusses potential media companies to distribute a new hip hop magazine. It analyzes three options: Music Mags, IPC, and Conde Nast. Music Mags focuses only on rock genres. IPC does not publish any hip hop magazines. Conde Nast publishes popular lifestyle magazines like Vogue and GQ. The document selects Conde Nast as it has broad appeal and popularity that could help a new hip hop magazine succeed. Retail locations like newsagents and corner shops are proposed to sell the magazine for convenience. An online website at www.trill.co.uk is also suggested to keep the younger target readership engaged.
Question three
IPC Media or Bauer Media would be good choices to distribute the magazine because they are large, global media companies that can expose the niche music and fashion magazine to a wide audience across multiple countries. IPC Media distributes popular magazines in similar genres and is always looking for new titles, while Bauer Media reaches 15 countries and 300 magazines, allowing the new magazine to find readers internationally. Their broad networks and experience with music magazines in particular make them well-suited to help build an audience for the unique new magazine.
Question 3.3
My target audience for the music magazine are young teenagers aged 15-18 who like R&B music. Companies like MTV, BBC Radio 1, Vibe Magazine, and Heart would be suitable publishers and distributors as they focus on R&B music and content for a similar demographic. A big initial budget would be needed to publish the magazine since these large companies would want to prominently feature and promote new artists to make them popular. The magazine would retail for $2.99 to $4.99 and be sold in local shops, music stores, newsagents, and online in order to reach a wide audience and drive sales. Extensive advertising like a website, social media promotion, live music events, and artist appearances would
NME
NME (new musical express) is a British music magazine that began as a newspaper in 1952 and has been published weekly since. It was the first British paper to include music charts. The magazine is owned by IPC Media, a large publishing company that produces over 60 brands. NME has an online website with over 5 million users per month and holds annual music awards voted on by readers. The target audience for NME is both male and female, especially younger people, as it aims to cover a wide range of up-to-date music genres.

- Bauer Media is a large, global media company that owns many magazines, digital products, radio and TV stations across 19 countries. While it does not currently publish a jazz magazine, distributing through Bauer could help reach a global audience and be promoted alongside its major brands.
- News Corp is also a large media company but would not be suitable as it mainly focuses on newspapers and has an older target audience, not well aligned with a jazz magazine.
- Rhinegold Publishing, based in the UK, produces magazines about music and the performing arts. It would be a good fit for a jazz magazine as it already covers related genres and audiences, without a current jazz offering. Rhinegold is identified as the best institution to publish the

NME covers various music genres and targets both male and female younger readers through its coverage of current music trends.
Question 33
Bauer is one of Europe's largest privately owned publishing companies and a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries. Bauer would be a good choice to publish and distribute the author's proposed R&B/Hip-Hop music magazine because they do not currently have a magazine focused on that genre, so it would provide a unique offering. The author believes the magazine would attract many customers and make money due to high demand, and working with Bauer could inspire them to create more music magazines in similar genres.
My music magazine mission statement
The magazine "BEATZ" will focus on rap music and culture, targeting urban, youthful males interested in the genre. It will be sold monthly for £2.50 at music and retail stores. The magazine will feature artist interviews, advice, and fashion tips, as well as competitions for readers to meet artists. The goal is to inspire readers and celebrate the success of women in rap.
Question 3
Conde Nast would be a suitable publisher for the magazine as they have brands like Glamour and Teen that align with the magazine's focus on glamour and new artists. The magazine would be distributed in stores like Tesco and Sainsbury as well as clubs to promote new music. It will be released monthly to maintain relationships with artists and keep consumers engaged with new music for longer. Subscriptions will be offered for 6 months at a relatively low price to attract and retain loyal readers.
Institutions
IPC Media and Bauer Media Group would be good choices to distribute the magazine because they both have experience publishing music magazines. While IPC Media releases most magazines weekly or monthly and the new magazine would be every two weeks, they have gaps in their portfolio for a magazine targeting both men and women with a dance music genre. Bauer Media operates internationally and has room for a dance-focused magazine. Overall, IPC Media is selected as they could attract the target audience and have a track record of profitable magazines.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses potential distributors for an indie rock/indie pop magazine. It analyzes Bauer Media, Emap, and IPC Media. Bauer Media's magazine Mojo targets a similar alternative music audience. Emap's magazine Smash Hits aims at a younger audience than the indie magazine. IPC Media distributes the successful and similar NME magazine, but they also have experience helping magazines succeed that could benefit indie magazine. Therefore, IPC Media is selected as the preferred distributor.

This document discusses several potential publishers for an EDM magazine:
- EDM Magazine publishes a bi-monthly print magazine and digital content focused on electronic dance music culture. It aims to inform fans and is a platform for brands to reach this audience.
- DJ Mag's publisher focuses only on DJ Mag and a nightlife website. As a small, exclusive publisher it could be a good fit for a nightlife-centered magazine.
- Bauer Media is a large multimedia company with many music magazines, radio stations, and websites. While it offers more syndication opportunities, its large size may not match the independent style of the EDM magazine.
EveALUATION 3
Bauer Media would be the best company to publish the magazine for several reasons:
1) Bauer Media is a large UK-based publishing company that publishes magazines in various genres, but does not currently have an R&B/Hip-Hop magazine.
2) Publishing the magazine with Bauer Media would allow the magazine to take advantage of Bauer's existing infrastructure and audience while introducing a new genre.
3) As an UK-based company, Bauer Media would be more convenient and cost-effective to work with than companies based in other countries like the US.
Q3
The magazine would be published by either Hearst Corporation or Mark Allen Group. Hearst publishes magazines focused on females like Cosmopolitan, while Mark Allen Group focuses solely on music magazines with a broader demographic. The magazine would be distributed at music stores like HMV and African clothing shops like Pepamsie. It would be circulated monthly and available through paid subscriptions of £3.99 per issue or individual issue purchases. While magazines in the genre of world music do not sell well overall, the publisher of Song Lines magazine that focuses on world music has seen revenue of £18.9 million and pre-tax profits increase 63% despite offering free CDs with the magazine. The magazine website is simple and easy to navigate with
IPC MEDIA
IPC is a large British publishing company founded in 1958 that publishes over 350 million copies per year of lifestyle magazines like Country Life and Woman's Weekly catering to various readers. IPC also publishes NME, their only music magazine, so competition in the music magazine market from them is low, especially for a magazine in a different sub-genre like alternative rock. Therefore, the document suggests IPC would be a suitable publisher for a new alternative rock magazine as well due to their success and experience in publishing.
Q3
IPC Media would be a suitable institution to distribute Kate's magazine. IPC publishes magazines such as Women and Yachting Monthly but does not have any magazines focused on clubbing and nightlife scenes. Distributing Kate's magazine could help IPC broaden their audience and fill a gap in the market, appealing to more people and increasing sales. Development Hell Limited is unlikely to distribute the magazine as it is similar in style and focus to their existing Mix Mag publication, and would not help them reach new customers or markets.
Aplysia 490 presentation
This study investigated the feeding preferences of Aplysia californica at different salinity levels. Aplysia is known to be selective in its herbivorous diet due to its weak mouth parts. The study aimed to determine if increasing or decreasing salinity from the control level would influence Aplysia to prefer easier to consume food sources, like algae grounded and set in agar, over natural algae. Sixty Aplysia were collected and tested on their consumption of natural and artificial algae at five salinity levels, with six Aplysia per treatment. The results and their implications for Aplysia's tolerance to salinity stress and ability to adapt feeding behaviors are discussed.
Question 7
- For their preliminary task, the author created a basic magazine front cover and contents page without defining an audience or doing research.
- For their final individual magazine, the author conducted research on target audiences and magazine styles, which helped them design a magazine tailored to their defined audience.
- The author's skills in using design software like Photoshop and layout tools like Quark Express improved, allowing them to create a more polished final magazine compared to the preliminary version.

Question 3
COMAG would be the media institution that would distribute the author's hip hop magazine product because:
1) COMAG already distributes several other hip hop magazines that the author used for design inspiration and references, including "The Source", "Vibe", "XXL", and "Hip Hop".
2) As one of the largest distributors in the UK and abroad, COMAG would be able to effectively distribute the magazine to target audiences across many countries.
3) The author's magazine, focused on mainstream hip hop artists, would be appropriately grouped with similar magazines that COMAG already distributes.
Q3 evalutation
Bauer Media Group is one of the largest privately owned publishing groups in Europe, distributing over 300 magazines in 15 countries across various genres. IPC Media Ltd is a large UK publisher selling over 350 million copies per year of magazines such as Uncut and NME. IPC would be the most suitable distributor for the author's chart music magazine as they have experience with popular music magazines, do not currently have a chart/pop magazine, so the author's magazine would not have to compete within IPC's portfolio.
Question three
IPC media is a large UK publisher that distributes magazines like NME, though its genre may not match the document's magazine. IPC's Look and Now magazines could be a good fit. InterMedia Partners distributes magazines like Vibe that would likely match the genre and audience of the document's magazine. As InterMedia has successfully marketed Vibe, they could effectively distribute the magazine.
Eval 3
Times Inc. would be a better publisher for the magazine than L.Londell Mcmillian for three key reasons:
1) Times Inc. has a larger distribution channel, making it easier to reach the target audience.
2) As a major publisher, Times Inc. is experienced in publishing both niche and mass market magazines, increasing the chances of the magazine expanding beyond a niche audience.
3) An independent publisher like L.Londell Mcmillian may prioritize the magazine too much and not profits enough, risking bankruptcy and ending publication, whereas Times Inc. is a stable major publisher.
Institution
The Source magazine is a U.S. hip-hop magazine that has been published since 1988. It is released twice a month or every two months. The magazine's publisher is the NorthStar Group, which also publishes Jones Magazine. The Source is sold in record stores like HMV and Virgin Megastores, where hip-hop fans are likely to purchase a music magazine. Currently, the magazine is sold for £5.11 on eBay, which is quite expensive considering increased costs from the global recession and decreased advertising revenue.

Media evaluation question 3
Bauer Media and IPC are two of the largest media institutions in the UK that were considered to distribute the author's new music magazine product. [1] Bauer publishes over 300 magazines across 15 countries, including popular music magazines like Kerrang!, MOJO and Q. [2] IPC publishes over 350 million copies per year of magazines like NME, Nuts and Uncut in the UK. [3] Ultimately, the author chooses Bauer Media to distribute the new magazine because their magazine Q is published monthly, leaving less competition, and Bauer has a wider range of magazines targeting the intended audience.
Magazine Distributions
Bauer media is Europe's largest privately owned publishing group distributing over 300 magazines in 15 countries. They own Kerrang, the world's biggest selling weekly music magazine covering rock genres. Bauer knows the target audiences of their magazines and how to produce new popular music titles.
IPC MEDIA produces over 60 media brands reaching almost two thirds of UK women and 42% of UK men. As a former music magazine publisher, IPC could produce another music magazine appealing to audiences familiar with their existing rock magazines.

Eval q3
Bauer Media would be the best media institution to distribute my rock music magazine for teenagers. While Bauer already publishes the similar weekly magazine Kerrang!, my monthly magazine differs in focusing on unique content like galleries and meet and greets. Bauer also has an established young, music-loving audience that would be likely to purchase my new magazine and generate profits. In contrast, Time Inc. UK's magazines are aimed at older audiences and do not have the target readership for a youth music publication.
Question 3
The document discusses magazine distribution strategies and compares major and independent distributors. Major distributors like Frontline aim to saturate markets globally and promote magazines in large retail stores to reach a mass audience. They can produce magazines at lower costs and provide extras to attract more readers. Independent distributors focus on niche audiences and distribute in underground shops or online, limiting scale but connecting with dedicated fans. The author proposes using a major distributor like Frontline to launch their new rock/indie magazine, aiming to make the genre appeal to a wider mainstream audience and charge more for advertising.
Question 3
The document discusses magazine distribution strategies and provides examples of major and independent distributors. Major distributors like Frontline aim to saturate markets and maximize profits by distributing large numbers of magazines to major retailers. They distribute over 160 titles weekly to over 55,000 shops. Independent distributors like Vice focus more on niche audiences and individuality over profits, distributing primarily online and to select stores. The author concludes they will use a major distributor like Frontline to distribute their proposed rock/indie magazine, to reach a wider audience across multiple platforms and charge more for advertising.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a dance music magazine. It analyzes several options, including IPC Media, Bauer Media, and music magazine publishers like DJ Mag and Mixmag. Bauer Media is identified as the best fit due to its existing platforms like radio and websites, wide audience reach, and experience publishing magazines focused on dance music like Q Magazine. The document also provides details on the online presence and advertising approaches of these different magazine publishers.
Question 3
Immediate Media would be the best publisher for the media product, a music magazine called INFINITY, targeting mid/late teenage girls. Immediate Media already publishes magazines for this demographic, like Top of the Pops for young teens, and produces mainstream pop magazines. They could advertise INFINITY within their existing popular magazines to build an audience. The budget for INFINITY would start reasonably but increase over time as the magazine grows successful filling an open market space. The magazine would be priced at £3.50 and distributed in stores and online.
Question 3
Media distributors are companies that publish various media products such as films, magazines, and television. Some distributors specialize in only one type of media while others distribute a wide range. This document discusses several potential media distributors for a new pop music magazine targeted at teenagers, including Bauer Media, Immediate Media, and Egmont Media. Bauer Media and Immediate Media are identified as the best options as they have room in their catalogs for another music magazine aimed at younger audiences. Immediate Media in particular is highlighted for having a small selection of music magazines currently.

Immediate Media in particular only distributes a few existing music magazines. Egmont Media is less suitable since it focuses on magazines for younger children. In conclusion, Immediate Media is identified as the best publisher due to the need for more music magazines in their catalog
Evaluation – question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a new music magazine. Bauer Media and Time Inc are both mentioned as they distribute many music magazines with wide audiences. Bauer Media reaches 11,000 employees across 17 countries and publishes rock magazines like Q, Classic Rock, Mojo and Kerrang. Time Inc publishes 350 million copies annually, including rock magazines NME and Uncut. Wenner Media is also discussed as they publish hugely popular magazines like Rolling Stone, US Weekly and Mens Journal, selling millions of copies each year. Distributing the new magazine through these large, established media companies would help it reach the target audience and maximize sales.
Question 3
The document discusses distributing an R&B magazine through a media institution. It considers several institutions - Bauer Media Group, IPC Media, Emap, and Harris Publications - and their experience distributing magazines. The author chooses IPC Media to distribute the magazine because they are the leading UK news distributor, have 60 iconic UK brands, and distribute magazines in supermarkets to broaden the audience. The magazine would be distributed in supermarkets worldwide and online, with free samples and video clips on the website to promote interest.

- 1. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and Why?
- 2. Publishers The most popular way of distributing a media magazine is through a major publisher. However, some people choose to distribute their magazine through smaller independent publishers. This is mainly due to smaller budgets and smaller distribution networks. Magazines distributed by independent publishers tend to be less sophisticated and available in fewer outlet stores. Compared to major publishers who distribute their magazines to high street shops and supermarkets, independent publishers seem to be involved in a smaller business. My magazine would need to be distributed through a major publisher. This is because it is very mainstream compared to independent publishers who usually tend to work with unknown artists who are striving to become famous. As I have used big music names such as “Lily Allen” and “Chase & Status” this immediately directs me towards a major distributor.
- 3. IPC & EMAP IPC IPC is one of the UK’s leading consumer magazine and digital publishers with a large portfolio selling over 350 million copies each year. It was originally formed as a international publishing company in 1963. In 1968 IPC bought the Daily Mirror and became the IPC-Mirror Group. IPC is one of the main magazine distributors. I would distribute my magazine with this company as it is international and owns magazines such as Q and NME. EMAP EMAP is a British Limited company, specializing in the production of business-to business magazines. This particular distributor deals with more formal magazines and papers which is why I feel that it would not suit my music magazine.
- 4. Making A Profit Major magazine distributors only publish magazines that they feel will up their revenue. This means that there has to be something significant about the magazine, and it has to be popular within the industry at the time. I have found that Independent distributors tend to publish magazines that feature unknown artists. These types of magazines attract audiences that are interested in music and the cycle continues. Major distributors only publish artists that are already famous to ensure that the magazine will sell when it is released. It seems as though the core message of magazines published by major distributors shows that the industry is going to stay the same, and that it is very hard to become famous as an unknown artist. The benefits of having an independent publisher is that you can ensure that they care more about the music than the publishing and fame. The types of artist’s that request independent publishers are those than feel strongly about their music.
