The document discusses how to publish a music magazine called "Residence". It considers publishing both a printed and online version to lower costs while also allowing subscriptions to reduce unsold copies. It recommends using Bauer Media Group as the publisher as they have significant capital to promote magazines and do not currently have any house/dance music magazines. Bauer Media also has related assets like radio stations and a ticketing service that could promote the magazine. The document also evaluates online publishing options and recommends using 3D Issue software to develop an interactive online magazine that could be directly uploaded to the magazine's website, avoiding additional hosting fees. The upfront cost of the 3D Issue software is higher than monthly or annual plans through other online publishers but would be more cost

1. Media Institutions

2. How to Publish the Magazine?
I would consider publishing the magazine
both printed and online (webzine)
I would make the magazine available by
subscription only instead of stocking it in
newsagents because it would lower the
costs of production however it would
lower the sales of the magazine
Other similar magazine magazines such as
DJ Mag and Mixmag currently do, allows
readers to subscribe to a number of
magazines for a set amount

3. Which Publication would I use?
Bauer Media are a large publisher of magazine
and other media organisations. This means they
have a large capital (money) to promote
magazines and other products
I would use Bauer Media Group as the publisher
of my magazine because they currently produce a
wide range of a magazines include music
magazines such as Kerrang! and Q
My music magazine ‘Residence’ would be good if
it was a part of Bauer Media Group because they
don’t currently have any House/Dance music
based magazines.

4. Which Publication would I use?
Bauer Media also have other brands such as radio
stations include 4Music, Kiss and Smash Hits. This
would be good for the magazine because they
can quickly access music artists without too much
problem.
Bauer Media also own a ticketing service, this can
be useful when the magazine has competitions
holds.
Bauer Media have a large sector of the magazine
publishing, so they have a big influence and
money in that area

5. Online Publishing?
I would use the digital magazine publisher called
3D Issue to develop my interactive magazine
I would then publish directly uploaded it onto the
magazine’s website which gives the benefit of
having no addition website charging money to
host the magazine.
The cost of the 3D Issue software is $1299 (£850)
more beneficial to the magazine over a longer
period of time
This would be a larger payment than the other
online publishers such as Issuu and Web
Publications, these publisher charge on either
Monthly plan costing on average a $19 (£15) or a
Annual plan $228 (£150)

6. Online Publishing?
The way the 3D Issue software generates the
magazine makes it seem realistic giving control on
how and when to turn turn the page.
The generated magazine also gives options to
zoom in and out, skip to pages. As well is this you
can hyperlink to other website directly from the
online magazine, embed videos and sounds to
play on demand or automatically.
Overall this Online Publisher gives the best
features and will cost less to have in the long run.
