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


The publisher that I would use to publish my magazine would be Times Inc. Media. The reason for this is that they are one of the leading media institutions in the UK, and also music magazine brands such as “NME magazine” use them as their publisher, this is a magazine that my target audience would read and therefore this media platform could be useful in reaching a wider audience. 

Times Inc. Media is a very well-known publisher, 26 million adults in the UK read a magazine published by them. By using them to publish my magazine I will be able to rely on them and know that they will be doing the best at advertising for my magazine. Also, because they are a large and well known company, there should be more advertisement options. It may also be both easier and cheaper to advertise with help from such a big media institution.

The kind of distribution methods that I would be using would firstly be the most common way. This is putting physical copies of the magazine in various popular retail shops for example, WH Smiths and Newsagents. This is so that I reach all of my target audience as most people who want a magazine still goes straight to the shops.  

Nowadays, big chain supermarkets such as Tesco and Morrison’s are becoming the main sellers of magazines and are the first place people now go to buy magazines. This is why I would make sure to distribute my magazine to supermarkets to get the most people seeing and buying my magazine as possible. I would also however have visual copies of my magazine online and use Internet distribution as this is a rising social trend and online media is gaining popularity over retail stores at a fast rate.
