Evaluation - Question 3

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

The magazine publishing house that I believe will own my music magazine is IPC Media as most of the genres that they own are associated with the most used media such as TV programmes (TV Times magazine), fashion (Look magazine) and they also publish NME magazine which is an indie-rock music magazine.


"Pop it" magazine would be available online if readers prefer having a digital copy rather than a physical copy since IPC media publishes their magazines digitally as well as distributing the magazine to stores as a physical copy. The distributed physical copies of the magazine would be sold in traditional newsagents, supermarkets and bookstores (such as WHSmith). By selling the magazine both as a digital and physical copy, it should help increase the sales of the magazine since there's more availability to purchase the magazine.

The magazine would be circulated on a monthly basis so that means there would twelve issues of the magazine out in a year. Readers would be able to also subscribe to the magazine if they want to receive the new issue every month it comes out. 

From my research, I found out that the average sale figures for the first half of 2012 for 'Top of the Pops' magazine is 78,352 and for 'We love pop' magazine it's 50,505. I also found that the average sale figures for the first half of 2013 for 'Top of the Pops' is 63,483 and for 'We love pop' magazine it's 42,864. There is a decrease in the average sales for both magazines which could be due to teenagers not wanting to buy the magazines as they are either expensive or they don't want to spend their money on buying magazines since they could use their money to buy something that will benefit them in the long run whereas a magazine can keep them entertained for a short time before getting bored or finishing it. I don't think the pop magazines are doing very well in sales due to the massive decrease in sales from the first half of 2012 and 2013. This could suggest that people are moving on from pop onto another genre of music which indicates that pop seems to be a genre that's dying out slowly before new creations for pop music becomes extinct in the future.
