DRAFT 3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


I feel that a distribution company advertises and distributes the magazines to the different shops
"Bauer Media Group is a magazine publishing company who have published magazines such as Kerrang! and Q magazine. They also have a 50% stake in the British Television company Box television who produce these music channels: 4 Music, The Box, Heat, Kerrang!, Kiss, Magic and Smash Hits.
I feel that Bauer Media Group will fit the genre of my magazine because it publishes a well known indie (Q) magazine and a successful rock magazine (Kerrang!). they also partially own a company that produces several music channels, one of them being Kerrang!. They have experience with both indie and rock magazines and so will provide the best experience for my magazine.
My magazine will be weekly as most of their magazines are weeklies. They will know how to tailor my indie rock magazine to its audience."
^^ this is taken from my research and planning page 
The distribution company for Bauer Media Group is Bauer Vertriebs KG so I feel that these would be the ideal distributor for my magazine as they are a subsidiary of Bauer so they will know how to advertise my weekly magazine.
