8. What media Institution would distribute my Magazine and
why?
After looking at my research
I would like Development hell
LTD to distribute my music
magazine. I think as they have
similar magazines to mine for
example ‘Mix-mag’ I think it
would fit in nicely. With my
genre of my magazine being
house music and dance I think
that by this media group
distributing my magazine it
would be successful.
looking at figures they sell
approximately 21,250 in a
year, which gives me an idea
that if this media group did
distribute my magazine for
me it would do pretty well.
