IPC Media is identified as a better potential publisher as it distributes magazines similar to the proposed one, including NME which features many indie pop artists.

    Question Three-
    What kind of media institution might
    distribute your media product and why?
    There is currently a gap in the distributing
    market for the genre of music I have
    chosen; indie pop.

    There are music magazines that include


    artists or bands from the genre I have
    chosen, but not one that only focuses on
    indie pop music.
    Dennis Publishing

    Two Magazines published by ‘Dennis Publishing’ are:


    -Blender
    -Maxim
    It’s statement was The magazine started
    that the magazine Blender is one of the in the year of 1994.
    was the ‘ultimate magazines I have studied
    during the course of my
    guide to music and
    more’ project.

    Blender Magazine
    is published by It is an American music
    ‘Dennis magazine.
    Publishing’.
    Blender was
    sometimes known
    for it’s ‘steamy’
    images

    Apart of the magazines


    content consisted of the
    ‘best’ and ‘worst’ tracks
    lists. Therefore these
    lists discussed tracks
    from a number of
    genres.

    Other than creating a absolute slight


    sex appeal through my model, I never
    wanted to adapt the style of steamy
    images and I also wanted my
    magazine to focus on one genre of
    music.
    Known for it’s images of
    International Men’s popular actresses,
    Magazine singers and female
    models.

    Estimated reader circulation of 2.5


    million readers.
    Although Maxim is known
    for featuring images of
    popular singers, actresses
    est. It is also known for
    these images to be
    ‘scantly’ dressed.

    It also features actresses


    and models, and articles
    that support these
    features; it does not just
    focus on music.

    The images this magazine is known for


    is not the style I wanted to adapt upon
    my own and I wanted my magazine to
    focus on one genre of music.
    The style of both Blender and
    Maxim are very similar.

    Both do
    not focus
    on one Both magazines would
    genre of not be aimed at the
    music. target audience I was
    aiming at.

    This an example of a media institution that distributes media forms,


    but it is not suitable for my own magazine, and would not be likely to
    distribute it themselves because of this reason.
    I have found a company that may
    distribute my magazine.
    The main female magazines the
    company distributes are Look, Now,
    Chat and Woman; TV entertainment IPC media produces over 60
    popular media brands

    It was
    founded in
    1963

    It produces a wide variety of The main male magazines they


    magazines. company distributes are: Country
    Life, Horse & Hound, Rugby World
    and Decanter, as well as lifestyle
    brands including Nuts, Mouse
    breaker and NME.
    It describes itself as ‘
    The Ultimate Guide
    to the Week in
    Music’

    The magazine
    is published The New Musical Express, or better known as
    weekly NME is a popular music magazine in the
    United Kingdom
    This shows that the publishing
    company ‘IPC MEDIA’ distributes
    magazines that are similar to my
    own and would therefore be a
    suitable company to distribute my
    music magazine.

    These artists, that have been used as


    the main image and feature of this
    magazine, are classed as indie pop
    artists. These artists and more from this
    genre are commonly featured within the
    magazine
    This artist is
    one associated
    with the indie
    pop genre.

    The main image


    is of the music
    artist Florence,
    from ‘Florence
    and the
    Machine’.
    IPC Media distribute a variety of magazines, but
    some of these, in particular NME music magazine,
    have great similarities to my own magazine. NME
    in particular features many indie-pop artists.

    Therefore I feel this company may be likely to


    distribute my own magazine.
    In conclusion I feel there is generally a gap
    in the market for a magazine of mine,
    however there are companies such as
    ‘IPC Media’ that may distribute it.
