Which magazine institution would publish my magazine ?

I think Bauers Media Group would be the best magazine institution to publish my magazine because they have a large international empire so my magazine would be known around the world. Also I think they would better at distribution so my media product will reach to mass market rather than small scale audience.

Most of the Bauers magazine (such as Kerrang!) are not only magazines they also have their own website , radio and television channel. Which would be a great advantage for my magazine as it will be able to address more possible consumers.
