The document discusses potential distribution methods for a music magazine. While the magazine would appeal to a niche audience focused on alternative rock/progressive genres, it could be distributed through special mail order to subscribers or digitally as a PDF online. However, digital distribution risks unauthorized sharing of copies without payment. The magazine's content like festival guides and band reviews would attract a broad age 15-25 audience, but features on specific artists would particularly interest a niche group. The original publisher of a similar magazine would be a good fit.

- 1. Music MagazineZachary SnowWhat kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
- 2. Mass vs. Niche My music magazine has the ability in appeal to a mass audience. Aspects such as the festival guide and general band reviews (seen on the content page) appeal to a wide range of people within the target range of 15-25. Although more major features in the magazine, such as the Emerson review and arty photos would appeal more a niche audience. The over theme of alternative rock/progressive genres would again appeal to a niche market. So over all my magazine would appeal more to a niche market.
- 3. Publisher and Publishing houseFor my magazine’s publisher I would have chosen Ray Gun’s original publisher, David Carson. His magazine had a similar feel and ideology to mine, so therewouldn’t be manycreativeconflictions. For publishing house I wouldselect Bauer Media. The mainreasonbeingtheydon’tcurrently offer magazine of a similar style, althoughthey do offer twomusicmagazines (Q and Kerrang).
- 4. DistributeThe only way my magazine would be sustainable as product if it was brought special order and mailed to buyer every week. I don’t imagine my magazine being sold in corner shops or super markets. Another way my magazine could be distributed is via the internet. My magazine could easily be sent to buyer using a .pdf, but major issue with that would be people sending copies to there friends without paying for another copy.
