8. What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and
why?
• IPC Media are the publishing company for the magazine NME, which has a
similar genre and theme therefore I would get them to print my magazine
as it would sell.
• Bauer Media is another publishing company which I could also use to
publish with as they use magazines such as Q and 4 music however due to
IPC media publishing NME which is similar magazine to mine I would be
more likely to go for that.
Kerrang NME magazine
4 Music
Hits Box
Q magazine
9. Who would be the audience for your
media product?

and Rock music But it would mostly be based at males as they are more
likely to read music magazines.
