2. Time Inc. (Formerly IPC Media)
Time Inc. is an American New York-based publishing
company. It publishes over 90 magazines, including NME.
I think this might be a good institution to distribute my
magazine, as they would be able to target a huge audience as
they make so many different magazines catering for different
peoples interests. I think it would be good if they distributed
a magazine that focused on just Pop music, which is the
genre of magazine I plan to make, as this would be different
to NME, as they include a variety of genres meaning they
have no specific target audience for that magazine, therefore
I think they should make a magazine that appeals to a
specific audience, which I think should be pop music as this
is the most popular genre of music based on my survey.
3. Bauer
Bauer media group is a large European-based media
company with its headquartered in Hamburg, Germany
that manages a portfolio of more than 600 magazines,
over 400 digital products and 50 radio and TV stations
around the world. Which includes kiss FM, 4 music, and
Heat magazine, as well as music magazines Q and Kerrang
Having such experience in the music industry would make
Bauer a great institution to distribute my magazine, also
they don’t have a music magazine that focuses on just pop
music, as Q looks at everything in the charts, which could
include rock, rap or other genres, this might put people off
buying the magazine if they like only pop music, therefore
I think they should distribute a pop magazine.
