2. Finding a media publisher that meets my
criteria
Looking for the right publisher can determine if you do well or not so it is
important that I need to find the perfect publisher for my magazine. I have
looked into Bauer Media and IPC
I want a media that can publish my magazine and are already publishing
current rock magazines as this already have rock fans as this could improve
the chance that more people will notice my magazine also I would my
magazine to be sold online as it is easier to handle. Also advertising an online
product has become easier with all the media that is present in this
generation.
3. IPC
IPC Media a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Inc. Is a consumer magazine and
digital publisher in the United Kingdom, with a large portfolio selling over 350
million copies each year.
Time Warner's now owns this magazine publishing company, and it is a large
company, which can be an advantage for me as it is popular and big and they
get funded by the web
I think that my magazine would suit this as my conventions meet the
requirements of a typical magazine and I think that it is website based so that
any of my audiences can access it.
4. Bauer media
Bauer Media is a division of the Bauer Media group, Europe's largest privately
owned publishing group. This group is massive by the fact that they are offering
over 300 magazines in 15 countries, as well as other media texts such as TV, Radio
etc.
They are constantly updating their websites which is good which keeps all the
audiences on track and keep following the updates that come up. Also Bauer
media are already publishing Q magazines which can be an advantage to me as
there will be a built up fan base for their magazines they might be interested in
some other magazines that are somewhat like Q magazines.
Bauer Media is a multi-platform UK-based media group, they currently have 22
Million People,107 brands and they do Radio, Digital, TV, Magazines, Live. Which if
I decide to work with Bauer Media maybe I could use their radio and TV to help
advertise my magazine which will benefit me a lot
5. My personal best pick
I think that I would like to go with Bauer media. This is because they are
already publishing the type of magazines that I am I think that this could be
an advantage to me as I they know how to publish magazines similar to mine
which can be an helping hand for me to start publishing my own magazines,
although IPC offers some good advantages as they are so big that there will be
a lot of audiences, but I think that I would like to go with Bauer Media as they
do other medias such as TV and Radio which sometime later I can extend my
advertisement onto there which will help me publish my magazine better
