Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

BauerI have chosen Bauer to distribute my magazine as it distributes media products which are similar to my magazine. Such as Smash Hits, POP and Heat magazine. The reason for me picking it because it distributes the same kind of magazines is that they are experienced with it and know how to distribute them.

Another reason for me picking Bauer to be my distribution is that it is Europe’s largest privately owned publisher. This will mean that my magazine will be distributed all over Europe so it will become well known.

Also Bauer does a lot of different magazines worldwide, this could mean that my magazine could eventually become a worldwide magazine.

So where would my magazine be sold?Supermarkets- Asda and Tesco, I would want my magazine to be sold here as they are two of the UK’s leading supermarkets so would mean that my magazine would be able to be sold to a large variety of people.

Newsagents- I would expect my magazine to be sold in newsagents as the show is specific to magazines. This would mean that it would be easier for people to buy and purchase. Also people would now exactly where they could get it from.
