Evaluation Question 3

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

My magazine is very similar to ‘NME’ and ‘Q’. Therefore it’s the their publishers that are likely to want to publish my magazine; ‘IPC’ and ‘Bauer’. Future Publishing however maybe would be less interested because the main magazines they specialise in are rock magazines, such as ‘Metal Hammer’ and ‘Classic Rock’ unless they were looking to develop this market.

The target audience of my magazine will link to who might distribute it. To uphold a regular readership I will need to make sure that it is distributed in well-known places. I will make sure that it is sold in newsagents such as McColl’s and Dillon’s so that it will be easy to get hold of. Also, big supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s will be good suppliers to have for my magazine. This was also a suggestion in my questionnaire, one of the replies I had back was that she would buy the magazine if it was sold in well known places along side other leading music magazine names such as NME, Kerrang and Q which also seem to be available pretty much everywhere where possible. Another way that this magazine could be used is for students who are taking the same course as me and need some inspiration on how to make their magazine.
