EVALUATION: what kind of media instituiton might distribute your media product and why?

Early on in the planning stages of producing my music magazine i researched magazines i was interested in and what instituions distributed them. I chose to focus on Q, NME and Kerrang as they were most likely what i would base my magazine on. For this evaluation question i will revisit my past research whilst adding to it.

IPC MEDIA

The first thing i noticed when i went on IPC's web page was this to the left. The key points i picked from this was 'UK's Leading' i think my magazine would work well with IPC as my magazine is focused on British music and british music acts. I also noticed it mentions digital publisher which i thought could link in well with my magazine being avaliable on tablet/mobile devices as i featured a QR code/digital copy feature on my contents page. After looking at IPC's brand portolio it has a wide vareity of magazine genres ranging from magazines specialising in motor boating anf yachting to women's weekly. The lack of music magazine production was slightly concernign however they do boast one of the most popular music magazines in NME. During my progression of my magazine i have took influence from magazines such as NME however i feel that if IPC were to host both GSOQ and NME there would be too many similarities and it would be difficult for them to put full focus into my magazine. Also as NME is so successful i would feel that my magazine would be behind it in priorities.
