What Media Institution Might Distribute My Magazine

The main magazine publisher that would publish my magazine would be:

www.bauermedia.co.uk

My magazine would fit into this certain publisher because they publish such magazine like, Empire, Kerrang, Mojo and Q. I feel that my magazine fits in well with this because I followed mainly the same conventions as Q magazine and felt that this was the type and style of magazine I was going for. With all of them music magazines I feel that they target the same type of male audiences that I do, which leads me to believe that this would be the best publisher for my magazine.

Also this magazine publisher has a section of what they publish for "Men's Entertainment." This consists of Arena, Arena Homme Plus, FHM and Zoo. The published entertainment would be applicable to my target audience, as I have aimed it for males in their late teens or above. This publisher would defiantly would be the one that would distribute my magazine as all of their magazines they publish have the same intended target audience.

As my magazine is aimed at quite a large target audience which could easily be branched out (as females and others may buy it) my magazine would probably be sold in more mainstream retailers such as WhSmiths, HMV etc.

The magazine that has the most similar name as my magazine would be NME. This magazine basically has the same/similar target market too. NME circulation figure is 40,948. This figure is around about the expected circulation figure if my magazine was on the market.

To collaborate with my magazine I would offer an online version of my magazine, which would include some of the things that are included in the paper version of the magazine, as I obviously would still want my target audience to buy my magazine.
