Evaluation - Question 3 - What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?

Evaluation Question 3

What is an institution? 


An institution is a company that distributes a media product for audience consumption.

What else can an institution do?


Before making the magazine, the producers can go to an institution to pitch their idea and ask if the institution would fund the project.

What institutions might distribute your music magazine?


After a some research I found that the top three institutions most likely to distribute my magazine would be:
  • IPC Media
  • Emap
  • Bauer Media
Upon further research I found that Emap are most likely to distribute my magazine. This is because Emap are famous for taking on magazines where the genre isn't the most popular. Emap describes themselves as "Always independent  relentlessly inquisitive, Emap embodies quality, market leading journalism. We act as the ultimate industry for everything and anything!"

Where would you distribute a magazine product to?


A magazine would go straight into shops either nationally or internationally. However for a music magazine it makes sense to distribute it to shops in countries where the genre is popular.

Where is Country Music most popular?


Country Music is most popular in America. However it has recently become more popular across other countries, like Britian.
This is because of artists such as Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift making it into the UK charts. Other country music artists, such as Bruce Springsteen and Carrie Underwood have been touring in the UK.
