Bauer would be a good choice to distribute the media product because it is a large, privately owned European publishing company with experience publishing magazines similar to the one being pitched. It has over 300 magazines across 15 countries, providing an opportunity for international recognition. Specifically, Bauer has a history of publishing rock music magazines like Kerrang, showing it understands the target conventions and audience. Distributing another rock-focused magazine could expand Bauer's offerings without much risk, given its existing rock-oriented TV and radio brands.

1. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why

2. Bauer is one of Europe's largest privately owned publishing groups leading me to believe it’s a successfully established company with a large audience. The company offers over 300 magazines in 15 countries giving Rabble an opportunity to become internationally known in the future and possibly gain a world wide audience. Bauer has experience in publishing rock magazines as it’s publishes magazines such as Kerrang. This gives me confidence in choosing them to publish my magazine as it proves they have previously come across similar conventions and audience that my magazine is aimed at therefore I’m positive they’ll successful distribute my product. They’re also a convergence industry as they also publish TV channels such as ‘Q’ and radio channels such as Kerrang, these brands attract a similar audience to mine. However Bauer doesn’t sell many music magazines specializing in the rock genre therefore I feel that my magazine would be a great asset to them as they’re giving their audience a wider variety of choice plus it’s not a great risk taking my magazine on as they know from there music TV channels and radio channels that there’s an audience for it.
