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

2. Publishers

magazine publishers in the UK who
publish a wide range of magazines from
Sport to Fashion and onward.

• There are also a range of music

3. Distributors
There are a fair few distribution companies
in the UK, some of which are listed here:

suppliers/296/1/2/
Most distribution companies distribute
many different magazines from many
different genres. This is an example of a
distribution company which specializes in
distributing music magazines:

There are also distributors who work
online, so maybe for a rare magazine like
mine it would be better to have it as an
online magazine where specific people
could subscribe.

4. The problem I would have with
my magazine would be
finding distributors interested
in publishing and distributing
a magazine about Asian
music. The main issue would
be the lack of buyers, as it is
a very specific magazine. This
is probably one of the
reasons why the only
magazine which publishes the
Asian charts and music is
NEO, because it provides a
lot more alongside the music
(including anime, manga,
Asian films and games)
NEO is the only UK magazine to provide
http://www.neomag.co.uk/ monthly updates on the charts in Japan as well
as interviews with Japanese and Korean bands
which visit the UK.

5. • Having been there
myself, I think one of the
best places to advertise
my magazine would be
the MCM expos, which It would be especially popular if I managed to get an
are held in London, advertisement on one of these banners!
Manchester, Telford and
Birmingham. These
expos would be full of
asian music fans and so if
I got a stand at the expo it
would be easy to get
subscribers.
