Evaluation question 3

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

After researching various different pop genre magazines, i found that Top Of The Pops is published by BBC magazines meanwhile We Love Pop is published by Egmont. I think both companies could distribute my magazine as it's very similar to both Top Of The Pops and We Love Pop. BBC although tends to be slightly more educational and i don't think my magazine fits as well into that.

The British Broadcasting Corporation is a public service broadcasting statutory corporation. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom.

Egmont is the UK's biggest children's publisher and is one of the worlds biggest media companies. Egmont sells more than 25 million books and 12 million magazines per year and is also a private company owned by a charitable foundation.

Therefore, i believe my media product would be most likely distributed by Egmont as both, We Love Pop and my magazine share features such as, articles, gossip, celebrities, fashion, interests in what is happening right now with artists and most importantly an obsession towards music! Both magazines are also aimed towards the same audience and genre therefore i think Egmont would be able to publish it well.

Overall i think that Egmont would most likely distribute my media product because they share a lot of similarities in the style of our magazines.

I think We Love Pop and Pop Charts will both attract audiences of pop genre although different stars used in each magazine will attract different people to the magazines therefore they will cover different stories and interests on artists making both magazines successful within the company.
