Question 3

I think that the type of media institution that would distribute my magazine is Bauer as they own over 300 media titles in 15 separate countries and their main media divisions are magazine and radio, Q Magazine and NME From researching these two magazine institutions I feel that Bauer would be the best to distribute my magazine as IPC produce a very similar magazine to mine which is NME. Although Bauer produce the magazine Q which has elements of my genre within it I think my unique selling point of being in the rock/alternative music genre of magazines would still shine through, and it adds a different type of magazine to the types that Bauer distribute, although my magazine is similar to that of NME magazine I still feel it is quite independent in itself and therefore would suit being distributed independently as well as being distributed by Bauer Media. Overall I feel either Bauer or distribution independently would benefit my magazine either way as I feel my magazine would fit in among those of Bauer as it is similar to the genre of Q and NME magazine
