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

My music magazine has the ability in appeal to a mass audience. Aspects such as the festival guide and general band reviews (seen on the content page) appeal to a wide range of people within the target range of 15-25. Although more major features in the magazine, such as the Emerson review and arty photos would appeal more a niche audience. The over theme of alternative rock/progressive genres would again appeal to a niche market. So over all my magazine would appeal more to a niche market.

For my magazine’s publisher I would have chosen Ray Gun’s original publisher, David Carson. His magazine had a similar feel and ideology to mine, so there wouldn’t be manycreative conflictions. For publishing house I would select Bauer Media. The main reasonbeing they don’t currently offer magazine of a similar style, although they do offer two musicmagazines (Q and Kerrang).

The only way my magazine would be sustainable as product if it was brought special order and mailed to buyer every week. I don’t imagine my magazine being sold in corner shops or super markets. Another way my magazine could be distributed is via the internet. My magazine could easily be sent to buyer using a .pdf, but major issue with that would be people sending copies to there friends without paying for another copy.
