What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?

Bauer Media and IPC Media are the main UK media distributors

“Bauer Media reaches over nineteen million UK adults across multiple media channels. We have more than eighty influential media brands spanning a wide range of interests”

“IPC Media produces over 60 iconic media brands, with print alone reaching almost two thirds of women and 42% of UK men – almost 26 million adults – while our websites collectively reach over 14 million users every month”

They are both well known media distributors which would allow my magazine to be distributed worldwide.

Would be possible for my magazine to be advertised in other existing magazines, on the radio, online and on TV.
