I feel that my magazine would be published by either of these two companys ,IPC MEDIA or BAUER as IPC is a big multinational media company and BAUER is the largest privately owned publisher in Europe.
The advantages of using these companies are that they are both big and well known very successful magazine publishers having published magazines such as NME. Also using these publishers it would be easier to get my magazine distributed to big selling places such as the supermarket and retail shops. However the down side of this is that they tend to publish more magazines for older and more higher class people, but I want my magazine to be for teenagers/ young adults so that could cause a problem, also IPC tend to focus on the advertisement side of things.
With my magazine being like a Kerrang style magazine, they are published by Bauer, so it wouldn't be a very good idea to go into publishing with them as they already do Kerrang, it would be a lot better to go with their biggest rivals IPC as they would be willing to take my magazine on and make it more successful than what Bauer our doing with Kerrang, this is one main thing I would have to take into consideration when choosing who I would go with out of IPC or BAUER.
My magazine Bass would also have its own website so it is available in more than one form, it would be available in print form and E-media form, the website would be successful as my target audience is young adults, who now a days only really use the web so this would be a big feature for my magazine it would be updated regularly and would even have sections for customers to leave their own feedback on and about the magazine. Also their would be a radio station made for my magazine which would be playing all the latest music that is shown in my magazine and also give listeners a chance to phone in and suggest songs to play, linking in with this there could be a television channel from this which would be used the same as the radio but would play the music video's aswell. My magazine would also try to get an advertising deal with I-tunes as that is the largest music downloading place in the world and everyone goes their so it would be good for Bass to be recognised from that

Fair points, though note that these are PUBLISHERS not DISTRIBUTORS. IPC, for example, has a sister distribution company - MarketForce. Look at their webiste and add some details about them.
