1. Question 3: What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?
In media there are two main magazine publishing
houses these are IPC and Bauer media. To distribute
my magazine I decided that IPC would distribute my
music magazine as they distribute magazines such as
NME. I also think my magazine is similar to NME in the
way my magazine is presented and the genres of
music featured in both. Both NME and my magazine are aimed at a niche smaller
target audience of people who listen to music of the indie genre. NME also sells for a
reasonable price of £2.40, this means audiences are most likely to but it. Also the
target audience is males and females 15-34 years which is similar to the target
audience of my magazine which is 15-30 year olds. NME launched in 1952 which
means audiences will be familiar with this magazine. This would be a good advantage
to my magazine to help sell as the audience would already be there.
