Frontline is a magazine distribution company formed in 1986 by Emap to handle their expanding circulation. In 1988, they partnered with Haymarket Publishing for greater market share. They later partnered with BBC Enterprises in 1990 and Hachette Distribution Services in 1994 to form Seymour, a third party distribution company. Frontline now distributes over 160 magazine titles, including 54 of the top 200 in the UK, through over 55,000 retailers across the country, making them the largest magazine distributor in the UK. As a mainstream magazine similar to KERRANG!, Frontline would likely be the media institution to distribute my magazine to gain wide reach.

Evaluation3
The student would publish their magazine with Frontline, one of the largest magazine distributors in the UK. Frontline distributes over 180 magazine titles through 55,000 shops, making them well-suited to distribute a magazine aimed at a mainstream audience of 9-13 year olds.

Bauer media group
Bauer media is a large media company headquartered in Germany that publishes 600 magazines, 400 digital products, and operates 50 radio and TV stations worldwide, employing over 11,000 people across 17 countries. It originated as a small family-owned print shop in Germany and has since expanded significantly through acquisitions like Emap in the UK. Bauer publishes a wide variety of magazines catering to different audiences and interests, especially focusing on the female market in Germany. The company has also adapted to new media platforms like digital, social media, TV and radio to broaden its audience reach.
Evaluation q3
Bauer is a large European company that distributes over 100 brands across various media platforms. While they do not currently distribute pop magazines, they have experience distributing music magazines that could help promote a new pop magazine. Times Inc. has a large audience of millions in the US but may not appeal as widely in the UK. They have experience distributing music magazines. Emap is a smaller UK company but plans to go digital-only, making them less reliable for magazine distribution.
Q3 evaluation
WHSmith and HMV would be good media institutions to distribute the magazine. WHSmith has a wide variety of magazines for sale in its 1,197 UK stores, ensuring success. It makes over £70 million in profits annually. HMV also has 273 stores across 4 countries and high revenue, making it a logical choice given the magazine's Brit Pop theme. Both companies could help with wide sales and distribution.
Evaluation q3
TimeInc. UK and Bauer Media UK would both be suitable media institutions to distribute my music magazine product. TimeInc. UK publishes magazines like NME that target a similar young adult audience. It also uses multimedia platforms like MTV to reach this audience. Bauer Media UK publishes magazines like Kerrang that also target 17-24 year olds and owns radio stations, however these may have a broader reach than my target. Overall, TimeInc. UK would be the better choice as it could more efficiently promote my magazine across its MTV channel and target both male and female audiences in my demographic.
Evaluation question 3
Time Inc. UK and Bauer Media Group would both be suitable to distribute the magazine, but Time Inc. would be most beneficial. As a large publisher with magazines similar to the target style and audience of NME, Time Inc. could effectively market the magazine. Additionally, Time Inc. distributes media across many platforms like MTV that could further promote the magazine to its target young male and female audience. While Bauer also has experience with magazines like Kerrang for a similar age group, Time Inc.'s integration across TV, radio, and magazines would provide more opportunities to engage audiences through different media streams.

Advance/Conde Nast is another large publisher, owning magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Glamour.

Question 3
GMG would be well-suited to distribute the R&B music magazine because they have experience with similar music genres and can promote the magazine across their radio stations, newspapers and other subsidiaries. Bauer Media would also be a good choice as one of the largest global publishers with the ability to distribute the magazine internationally, backed by over 140 years of experience in effectively distributing magazines to the appropriate audiences.
Question 3
Bauer Media Group would be the preferred media institution to distribute my magazine product because it is the largest publishing group in Europe with 80 brands reaching 19 million people. As the successful publisher of Q Magazine, Bauer Media could help my magazine succeed due to its information, layout, and color scheme. Frontline would also be a good choice as the largest magazine distributor in the UK, distributing over 160 titles to audiences throughout the country.

Evaluation question 3

Evaluation 3 presentation
The document evaluates three potential media groups to distribute a new music magazine: Haymarket Media Group, Bauer Media, and IPC Media. Haymarket Media Group has publications across different countries but no similar magazines. Bauer Media publishes magazines like Kerrang that appeal to the target audience but Kerrang may overshadow a new magazine. IPC Media has experience with magazines like NME, reaches over 25 million users globally, and the genres of NME and the new magazine are not exact so it would not be overshadowed. The conclusion is that IPC Media would be chosen to distribute the new magazine.
Unit 01- Analysing a Print Based Media Product
This document provides an analysis of a music magazine and its publisher, Bauer Media. It covers information about Bauer as the focus publisher such as its ownership structure, brand ideology, and technological convergence strategies. It also analyzes the magazine's market position compared to competitors, target audience demographics, and regulatory compliance issues. The document consists of research and analysis on multiple aspects of the music magazine and its publisher to understand their business operations and relationship with audiences.
Question 3
Bauer Media Group would be the best media institution to distribute the author's pop music magazine for three key reasons:
1) Bauer Media Group has extensive experience in distributing magazines over many years and the author's magazine would benefit from their recognition and popularity.
2) The author's magazine would be the only pop music magazine distributed by Bauer Media Group, facing no direct competition from other similar magazines within the same institution.
3) Bauer Media Group also distributes several pop music radio stations, linking their offerings to the genre of the author's proposed magazine.
Media question 3
The document discusses distributing a magazine product through Frontline, a large UK magazine distributor. Frontline distributes over 160 magazine titles to over 55,000 retail outlets, including major supermarkets and corner stores. They also provide online magazine sales. The author believes Frontline is a good choice as their magazine could be sold in popular stores like WHSmith, Tesco, and Asda, reaching a wide audience. Frontline's multi-platform distribution through both physical and online retail outlets would make the magazine easily accessible to potential readers.
Q3 - What kind of institution might distribute your media product and why?
This document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a new pop music magazine. It considers Egmont, Bauer Media, and BBC Magazines. Egmont publishes similar magazines and has international reach. Bauer Media distributes music magazines but not a pop magazine, so this could expand their offerings. BBC Magazines is experienced in pop music genres. However, UK magazine sales are decreasing, so Bauer Media, as a large international institution, would best ensure the magazine's success through worldwide advertising and profit. Bauer Media is identified as the most appropriate choice to widely distribute the new pop magazine.
UNIT 1
Bauer Media Group owns Kerrang magazine, the UK's number one rock music magazine. Kerrang was first published in 1981 and releases weekly issues focused on rock and metal music genres. It includes interviews, reviews, and news about rock artists. While Kerrang's circulation has declined in recent years, it maintains its position as an influential voice in the UK rock music scene. The magazine aims to inform and entertain fans of rock music about their favorite bands through in-depth content. It uses consistent visual styles and codes on its covers and pages to clearly convey its brand identity as a magazine dedicated to rock.
Media Q3
IPC Media would likely distribute the magazine because it is a large multi-national company that publishes and distributes hundreds of magazines annually. As a large company, IPC Media could more easily accept the risk of loss rather than profit from a new magazine. The magazine the author researched, Gramophone, is published by Haymarket Media Group, but IPC Media would be better able to distribute a new magazine called Classical.
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.
Media Evaluation 3.
The document analyzes four potential media institutions that could distribute a new music magazine: Bauer Media Group, BBC Magazines, Development Hell LTD, and IPC Media. Bauer Media Group is selected as it is a well-established global distribution company with experience distributing music magazines. It has vertical and lateral integration through its music television channels, allowing for easy promotion of a new music magazine to the intended demographic. Though BBC Magazines and IPC Media are large companies, their existing magazines seem to target different audiences than a new broadcast music magazine. Development Hell LTD is smaller but has expertise in similar niche music magazines.
Evaluation question 3
Bauer Media would be well-suited to distribute the music magazine because it is a large European media company that reaches over 25 million people globally. It has a proven track record of successfully distributing magazines, including music magazines like Kerrang. As a multi-national corporation, Bauer could advertise and sell the new magazine to a wide international audience through its vast network of print and digital distribution channels.

Statistics are given for readers of NME
Question 3
Bauer would be the best publishing group to partner with for the music magazine MusicLife for several reasons: Bauer owns 80 brands across 15 countries reaching 19 million people, has experience in magazine and multi-platform brands, understands the industry, and targets younger audiences who are influenced by technology. As MusicLife is also a multi-platform brand, Bauer could help expand it to other formats like radio and television. Bauer's most recognizable magazines have generally been very successful. Frontline would be the best distributor as it handles over 160 titles including many top sellers in the UK, and aims to support good causes, which would help MusicLife appeal to a wide audience.

- 2. Magazine distribution Frontline distribution Frontline was formed in June 1986 by the magazine publisher Emap (now Bauer Media) in order to handle the demands of their expanding circulation department. Two years on it became clear that for greater market share and negotiating influence it was necessary to look for an additional partner. In 1988 a joint venture sales, marketing and distribution company was formed with Haymarket Publishing (now Haymarket Media Group). The joint venture, unique in this sector of the newstrade industry, went some way to achieving the objective of increased market share but was still short of the number one position. One possible route to increase market share was to take on business from independent publishers (third party.) However, it was felt that Frontline’s operational expertise, the source of real competitive advantage, should not be shared outside the partnership. The dilemma remained – how to gain market share rapidly without taking the third party route? The answer was found when in 1990, two years after the arrival of Haymarket, BBC Enterprises (later renamed BBC Worldwide) joined the Frontline partnership.
- 3. In 1994 an agreement was made with Hachette Distribution Services to form a joint venture third party company called Seymour, as a complementary service to the core business. This was followed in 1997 by the further expansion of Seymour through an additional joint venture with Dennis Publishing. H Bauer Publishing then became Frontline’s fourth partner in January 2005 and in December 2007 Emap plc was broken up with the Emap Consumer Media division being sold to Bauer Publishing. So what does Frontline do now..? Frontline sells and distributes over 160 of our Partners' magazine titles, including 54 of the top 200 best selling titles in the UK (source: ABC). Our magazines sell nearly 8 million copies every week through over 55,000 shops ranging from the smallest corner store to the biggest hypermarket. This makes us the biggest magazine distributor in the UK. Frontline's job is to maximise the sales of our magazines in the most cost-effective way. To do this, we connect our Partners’ knowledge of their readers with the retailers' understanding of their shoppers in order to develop effective strategies for driving category sales. We are also investing in sophisticated software solutions to ensure that we are getting the right magazines, in the right numbers, into the right shops. Frontline employs over 120 people and has its offices in central Peterborough. The talented people at Frontline make us the successful and influential business that we are. As the magazine industry enters a period of significant change, our people will continue to keep us at the forefront of industry thinking and will ensure the continued delivery of our objectives source: http://www.frontline.ltd.uk/frontline/about/history.html
- 4. KERRANG! distribution KERRANG! Is distributed by frontline magazine. Due to my magazine being roughly based on KERRANG! It would make sense that frontline would also distribute my magazine. This would allow my media product to be distributed up and down the country in major shops due to frontlines reputation and repertoire of clients.
- 5. Distribution of my magazine Frontline distribution distribute KERRANG! Magazine. Therefore, as my magazine is mainstream, frontline would most probably distribute my magazine. I would look at having other media products, like a t.v. show, to enhance my magazine.
