TASK 4B Make a decision on which sub-genre magazine you will produce belongs to. Research into a specific music magazine that links in some way to your chosen sub-genre and find out who publishes it. Do research into this published and why it might or might not make a suitable publisher for your final magazine. My magazine will be targeted towards an alternative audience. The first Q magazine was published in October 1986 by EMAP Media Group. Mark Ellen and David Hepworth founded the magazine to target the group of people who were buying CDs, which at the time were a newer technology. Q was then sold to the Bauer Media Group who are a large and successful company. Bauer Media would be suitable publishers for my final magazine due to the fact that I have a similar target audience to the magazines that Bauer publish (i.e. alternative/indie) therefore they could help to advertise my magazine to the same target audience and hopefully this would be successful.
