2. FUTURE PLC
This is a company that publishes mainly magazines but covers a wide rage of different
genres however the few music based magazines they do publish are about
learning to play instruments and about studio equipment. This means that this
publisher would not be right to publish my music magazine as my magazine is
about artists and songs not about guitars.
This company publishes magazines such as EDGE which is a gaming magazine, as well
as Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox magazine. They publish other magazines such
as MAC Format and Linux Format which are magazines about operating systems.
3. MAMA AND COMPANY
MAMA and Company is a independent publishing company that is based in the UK so
this would mean that this publisher has less competition as it’s only a regional
publisher. They are only publishing an Indie magazine so far so this means I could
get them to publish my magazine as it would be another genre of music for the
publisher to advertise to and it would benefit me as my magazine would be only in
the UK so I wouldn’t have as much competition and I could also advertise my
magazine at places like the O2 Academy and the Echo Arena for example, this
would mean my magazine would be bought by people who have an interest in
music because music concerts are at these places anyway.
4. IPC MEDIA
This publisher does publish a music magazine which is “NME” which is a pop/indie
magazine which isn't the same genre as mine however they would be less likely to
publish mine as it could be seen as being to similar to a magazine they already
publish and fund.
Some magazine's that IPC publish are like the TV times and TV guide magazines as well
as a couple of sports magazines.
