3. What kind of media
institution might distribute your media product and why?
My magazine doesn’t
have a specific institution, because it’s
a handmade magazine the people who create the magazine will be their own
institution, they will be their producers and organisers making the work needed
in order to distribute it themselves. In order to produce and distribute it
well the magazine will hire people who have experience in this, making sure the
magazine has the best chance of being produced well so it appeals to the
audience.
When hiring people to
create the magazine I plan to gain people who offer experience in rock/hardcore
magazines such as RockSound, NME and Kerrang, making sure the magazine is
filled with the correct material and is presents the artists in the correct way
in order for the magazine to compete with other magazines the contain the same
genre. As it’s only a small
handmade magazine it will be unlikely for it to be distributed to other
countries as we wouldn’t be able to cover
the expenses needed, making the magazines heavily distribution the UK,
providing it with stronger connections to news agents and other retail stores
within the country. Royale With Cheese aims to gain a growing audience because
of its authentic and original look, creating something which represents an era
of magazines which once looked like hand work and a large amount of skills and
effort went into making it. The magazines target audience is young
adults/teenagers, also providing interest to adults also, causing my
institution to have large competition against other magazines with the same
matching genre. It would also reach out to niche audiences which like the
handmade handwritten style of magazines which provide it with the authentic
look and appeal to a select group of people. Creating a website and groups on
twitter and facebook will also help the institution in boosting a wider
audience, helping us to gain more recognition.
Find out the institution of your closest magazine so you can mention that your small production would be very similar to theirs. You really need to provide examples of smaller distribution companies and model your ideas on them.
