Music Magazine Evaluation Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

+Media Institution

What is media Institution? Music institution is a type of company who writes,

designs and produce a music magazine, specifically made for there target audience.

There are many other types of institution and a wide variety of them and they will all differ by target audience, producing something without reaching the requirements for there target audience would give the product a bad review because it doesn’t suit them.

An example for different types of is the film industry, news papers and radio program.

+Examples of institutions

MixMag- MixMag is a electronic music magazine institution, their target audience is aimed for 24 year olds and male. They are one of the top dance themed music magazine in UK and in other countries. They interviewed many famous musical artists and producers like Skrillex, Avicii and many more.

DJ Magazine- DJ Magazine is like MixMag but its more house anthem (progressive house) they are very popular because they have there own awards for the top 100’s DJ in the world. This mean they are very known to the music industry

+Why am I publishing my music magazine? My music magazine is themed as electronic music from the year

2008-2015, I chose these part of the year because this was when the electronic music industry began to change and turn into new music types like ‘Trap’. This changed the music industry because when everyone heard it they then thought Dubstep (popular music late 2008) sounded like a rock version of electronic music. On the other hand there are lots of news article and information's in the electronic music tech.

The artists in my magazine would have an interview but because of the budget, interviewing artist can be very expensive e.g. transport, renting rooms and equipment's. So to interview an artist we have to make sure that the artist in on tour so our interviewers can go backstage with the artist and do a quick interview, doing this would be more appropriate because of the low budgeting.

+Who would publish and distribute my music magazine? Music distributers like DJ mag, would be a very

choice because they publish electronic music magazines, also choosing this company would be more appropriate instead of publishing it on a NME (New Musical Express) which is an rock music magazine, which then wouldn’t suit there target audience.

Publishing from a magazine company like Dj mag would mean having a large audience. Having a large audience would make my magazine very popular and would be seen world wide in multiple platforms digitally (phones, tablets, pc’s etc..) and on paper.
