Foundation Portfolio-The Evaluation - Question 3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Institutions like Time, Life and Image Publishing cover a wide range of different brands, which would make it extremely difficult for a magazine like mine to get green lighted and I don’t think that a large media company would buy my magazine mainly because of the lack of copyright- approved images and the fact that the programs that we have been using do not have the right software to create high-tech images seen in today’s magazines such as Empire, Time, etc. However, a company that only specialises in music magazines such as The Bauer Music Group would be ideal to distribute my product because the company publishes other magazines that appeal to the same target audience and they are similar to my design such as Kerrang! Whose stylish front covers are comparable to my cover design and Q’s informative writing style influenced the information I wrote in my double page article. In conclusion the magazine that I am trying to create will use Kerrang’s presentation with images and Q’s informative writing style, so the Bauer Music Group would be a desirable distributer.
