The document discusses why Frontline would be a suitable distributor for the author's new mainstream music magazine. Frontline distributes magazines with a wide age range of audiences, similar to the author's magazine. It distributes magazines from major publishers that cover different genres of music, so the author's pop-focused magazine would not conflict. Distributing through Frontline would allow the magazine to be sold in major retailers like Tesco and Asda, making it easily accessible to the magazine's broad target audience. The author also plans to create a website for the magazine to further engage readers of all ages.

- 2. Because my magazine has a wide age of target audience and is aimed at mainstreamers, I feel ‘Frontline’ would be the most appropriate distributor for my magazine. Due to the fact ‘Frontline’ also distribute other mainstream magazines such as ‘take a puzzle’ which has a target audience with a wide age range, similar to my music magazine my magazine would be suitable for them. It also distributes magazines that a mainstream and are ABC1 JICNAR. ‘Frontline’ distribute magazines from BBC, Haymarket and Bauer which publish many different types of magazine. Both BBC and Bauer publish music magazines but the BBC music magazine is a more classic music magazine and my magazine is a complete different genre, which is the same for Bauer; they publish Kerrang, a contrast to my pop magazine. Therefore I don’t feel it would be a problem for ‘Frontline’ to distribute my magazine.
- 3. Due to the range of target audience for the different magazines ‘Frontline’ distribute, they distribute to a vast amount of places, including WHSmith, TESCO and ASDA. It’s good that my magazine can be delivered to many shops because it will have to be easy for a lot of ages to get to it, because it is in somewhere like Tesco's, any age can buy from there and can get to there easily. Because my magazine is mainstream it means people need easy access to it so big superstores are a suitable place to supply my magazine. As well as a magazine ‘Desire’ will also have a website containing extended articles, photo shoots, and perhaps a message board enabling readers to share their opinions. It would enable ‘Desire’ to have a multi-platform. Having a website will enable my audience to have easy access to music and because its on the web any age can see it, which is suitable for all my audience.
