Question 3 – What kind of media institution might distribute

your media product and why?

Charlotte Carty

I have researched a few magazine publishers that I thought would be suitable for the production of my magazine such as Bauer Media Group and Time Inc. UK.

These publishers have monthly music magazines that they

publish.

Time Inc. UK has Uncut.

Bauer Media Group has Mojo.

Mojo is an indie rock magazine, which could be classed as similar to my magazine, so I wouldn’t choose Bauer.

I would choose Time Inc. UK because my magazine isn’t

like Uncut because it is aimed at a different audience

whereas mine is aimed at an indie-rock audience.

I feel like if Time Inc. UK were to produce my magazine it would be very successful because they are established in their production.

I also feel that my magazine would be able to bring a

different sort of audience to Time Inc. UK because their

existing publications are mainly aimed at men who like

rock music.

My magazine would broaden their audience to women as

young as 16. It would also bring in more of an indie audience

which could then help the sales of their other magazines.

My magazine will be sold in newsagents, gigs and retailers.

This will allow for my magazine to reach a broad audience and

will make sure that my target audience can

get hold of the magazine wherever

they are.

It will also be available for digital download because my target audience is quite young and I know that the new generation is all technology based so I would make it available to them also.
