Institution Research

I have conducted research on multiple institutions so I can make an informed choice on a magazine publisher for my music magazine.

Bauer Media Group

The Bauer Media Group is one of Europe‘s leading media companies, based in Germany. The Bauer family has managed the publishing company since its creation 138 years ago. Bauer publishes Q magazine, Kerrang Magazine and Box Telivision.

As the UK's leading consumer magazine publisher it engages with 26 million UK adults - almost two thirds of UK women and 42% of UK men. IPC publishes NME, Nuts and Uncut magazine.

Future is an award-winning international media group and leading digital business. It reaches more than 51 million international consumers a month and create content and advertising solutions for consumers online, on tablet & smartphone and in print. Future PLC publishes Guitarist, RHYTHM and Total Guitar magazine.

 

Hearst Magazines

Hearst Magazines, a unit of Hearst Corporation, is one of the world's largest publishers of monthly magazines, with 20 U.S. titles and close to 300 international editions. The Company also publishes 20 magazines in the United Kingdom through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hearst Magazines UK. Hearst Magazines publishes Cosmopolitan, Marie Clarie and O magazine.

Dennis

Dennis Publishing is one of the world’s leading independent publishers. Founded in 1974, the group consists of a number of operating companies in the UK and USA. Dennis publishes Viz, PC Pro and MacUser.

Imagine Publishing

Imagine specialises in producing high quality, good value, international content for enthusiastic technologically literate prosumers. Imagine Publishin publishers Play, SciFi Now and X360.


In summary I have chosen the Future PLC because of it's lack of music magazine which includes a commentary section and reviews and on popular music artists. Future PLC also already reaches a very large audience and can offer the technology to design for smart phones and tablets an application for my magazine.
