2. Question 3. Magazines I have studied. After studying various music magazines, mine related most to magazines such as NME, Q and Kerrang. Each of these magazines have been distributed by mainstream companies such as “Bauer” and “IPC Media” because the magazines will appeal to a great deal of people, earning back money for high distribution costs.

3. Question 3. Independent Distribution. Independent magazine distributors such as Vice sell and distribute magazines on a much smaller scale, meaning that they can target the magazine at a much more niche audience. This would not be the case for my magazine as it was designed to appeal to quite a wide range of people. Instead of being sold in small outlets, it would be sold on a multiplatform level and distributed in shops such as WHSmith, Tesco, Spar, etc.
