Question 2: What kind of media institution might distribute your product and why?




My magazine is aimed at people who like alternate music and so is quite select in my area, I don't think they would be widely available because of this. It wouldn't be published by magazine companies like future as future tends to make gaming magazines which is very specific to an area. This is a lot like the BBC as they tend to make magazines which are created and designed to promote their programmes or for people whom enjoy their programmes.
My magazine is aimed at people in the age range of 20’s and about late 30’s, I do not want to be too specific as I am happy for anyone to buy the magazine, this is fairly young so I want my magazine to be published by a magazine company which produces current magazines which are also targeted at my age range, this way they can promote my magazine and it is likely that they have the same interests.

I would like to use a company which produces music magazines because, again, this is a similar area and can get people interested in my magazine, especially as this would be a low produced magazine and so a lot of people who would be interested in this particular magazine would be able to hear about it through this.

In this case I would probably pick the company Conde Nast, as they are very experience and produce current magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair and Wired. Although this is in a different area a lot of people buy these magazines and so would give my magazine a lot of attention. As this particular company focuses on specific areas such as fashion fanatics it is ideal as my magazine chooses a very specific group to focus on. The specific topic for my magazine is alternate music allowing the company to have branches in other genres like music and entertainment.
