1. What kind of media institution
might distribute your media product
and why?

2. Publishing Companies
Bauer is the UK’s biggest publishing company and
has been managed by four different generations.
The Bauer company created 300 magazines in 15
different countries, as well as being published as
TV and radio stations. Bauer is a multi-platform UK
based media group consisting of many
companies collected around two main divisions –
magazine and radio.
IPC media is known for creating
content for many platforms. It has
more than 60 iconic media brands
and is the UK’s leading consumer
magazine publisher and engage
with a huge amount of adults

3. Publishing Companies
BBC is a publishing
company known for
online and TV work. It is
a company that
specialises in the UK
and it is spread across
the whole of the UK
and is extremely
popular. This company
produces its media
through, magazine, TV
and Radio, however it
is best known as a TV
publisher.

4. IPC
UNCUT was published by IPC. I used UNCUT magazine to help me
create my front cover as I’m using the same genre which is rock. I
think if I published my magazine with the company it would be quite
successful as they’re known for producing success rock magazines
such as UNCUT, however my magazine would bring a new age range
to the company as my magazine is targeted to an audience
between 16- 24 and UNCUT us targeted to an audience any age
over the age of 18.

5. BBC
TOP OF THE POPS magazine was published by BBC which is the
biggest company is the UK. Top of the pops is a pop magazine
whereas my magazine is rock. I think my magazine would do good for
this publishing company as it would bring something new to the
company and would attract a new audience.

6. BAUER
Q magazine is published by BAUER. I used Q magazine a lot for inspiration
when creating my magazine as I want to attract the same audience as
they do however, my age range is slightly different. I’m hoping my
magazine attracts 16- 24 year olds and Q attracts a audience of 18 and
older. I think my magazine would be successful if I published it with the
company.

7. MY CHOSEN PUBLISHING COMPANY
The company that I would publish my magazine with
would be BBC, as I think my magazine would bring
something new to this company and would attract a
new audience to the company as they don’t publish
any rock magazines yet which means I will be bringing
something new to the company. My magazine would
attract a brand new audience for the company as
pop is normally the genre that the BBC go for. My
magazine has a different layout to the magazines that
the BBC normally publish and normally attract a
younger audience as my magazine is made for
people 16- 24 years of age. I didn’t choose to publish
my magazine with IPC or Bauer as they have already
published magazines which are very similar to mine.

8. Who will my Magazine Compete with?
My magazine will compete with any other rock
magazine which are currently on the market such as
‘Q’ magazine and ‘UNCUT’. Both of these magazines
have a rock genre. The way I will make sure my
magazine doesn’t get pushed aside in the publishing
business will be by making my magazine cheaper
than others for example, ‘Q’ is around £3-£4 so I made
my magazine £2 so that it is cheaper and will
hopefully make more people want to buy it. I will also
make sure that my magazine is published on the
internet so that people can read it online, I will do this
by putting links on websites such as social media
website etc. I will also advertise my magazine on
these websites so everyone knows about it. Like other
magazines I will also make sure I do weekly things such
as competitions, this is a way to attract readers.

9. What would my Magazine bring to the
Company?
My magazine would bring many things to the BBC
publishing company such as a huge a different
range of audiences as BBC magazines are normally
aimed at a younger audience, my magazine will
introduce people in between 16- 24 or maybe even
older to the company, this will create a new market
to increased their profit. The BBC doesn’t have a
successful rock magazine in their company, this may
be as there aren’t really any rock magazines in their
company this is another thing that could increase
and widen the audience and their profits.
