Evaluation: Question 3

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


When considering a relevant publisher for my music magazine I instantly though Bauer Media as they publish are large amount of magazines and are a successful media business and from my research I know a considerable amount of information on them. However due to the vast amount of music magazine they are already publishing I thought it would be a better idea to re-think this and research other magazine publishing companies. 


I have decided the kind of media institution that might distribute my media product would be Conde` Nast. 




Condé Nast  is a worldwide magazine publishing company. Its main offices are located in New York,Chicago, Miami, Madrid, Milan, Tokyo, London and Paris. Condé Nast is run by S.I. Newhouse Jr, and is a division of Advance Publications, who have owned the company since 1959. Some of their publications include: GQ, Vogue, Glamour, Allure and Gold World. 



The genres of magazines which they publish are: 
  • 1 Fashion and lifestyle
  • 2 Home
  • 3 Bridal
  • 4 Golf
  • 5 Food
  • 6 Travel
  • 7 Technology
  • 8 Culture

  • The company publishes one of the most recognizable magazine portfolios in the industry.

  • It is clear that Conde` Nast are a successful company who have established a high profile and publish a selected number of magazines which would be classed as successful and stylish. 

  • I feel it would be appropriate for my magazine to be published by Conde` Nast because they do not publish any magazines with a genre of music, my product would offer them a way to attract a different audience group, therefore earning them more money. There is definitely a gap in their portfolio. I feel that 'V' magazine is suitable to be published by Conde` Nast as it is a stylish and sophisticated magazine which fits in with the other styles of the other magazines. The magazines published by Conde` nast are all targeted at an educated audience, their magazines are not cheap, they are produced on good quality paper and cost a lot more then other magazines such as 'love it!'. The target audience would be expected to be earning more money then the readers of a magazine such as 'love it!'
