Future Publishing would be a suitable distributor for the media product as they focus on topics that would interest the target male audience such as sports and video games. They also focus on music and movies which fits with the genre of the media product. Future Publishing produces rock magazines and may consider distributing a new music magazine. Suitable media platforms for distribution include music stores like HMV and newsagents like WHSmith that sell a variety of magazines. Local radio stations may broadcast the magazine on specialist music shows.

1. Question 3: What kinds of media
institution might distribute your
media product and why?

2. Future Publishing
 From video games to film,
from cycling to music-
making, they provide
magazines, websites and
events that inform,
entertain and unite these
communities. They share
the same passions as our
consumers.

3. Why would they distribute your media
product?
 I think Future Publishing would be likely to produce
and distribute my media text if it were produced for
sale in the real world. This distribution company
would appeal to a male audience as it focuses on
sport and video games, which would interest them in
the magazine. However it could also appeal to
women depending on what people are interested in.

4.  Future publishing focuses on four areas which are,
technology, sport, games and music & movies. I
think that this institution would be interested in
producing/distributing my text as the music
magazines they produce and distribute are rock
magazines which fit within the genre. However they
do not produce any big music magazines so they
could consider my magazine.

5.  Media Platforms, broadcasters or outlets that may be
interested in selling/broadcasting/showing my text would
be high street stores such as HMV as they are a well
known music store that sell all different types of music.
Also newsagents such as WHSmiths that sell a wide
range of magazines. However supermarkets would be
unlikely to be interested in my magazine as supermarkets
tend to mainly sell mainstream magazines. Broadcasters
that may be interested in broadcasting my magazines
could be local radio station such as 107 Sparkfm or
Metro Radio on specialist shows for a specific target
audience who would be interested. Also the magazine
could be broadcasted through advertising at local events
such as music festivals or gigs in the area.
