Magazine Evaluation - Activity 3

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


The media institution/ publisher that would suit my magazine the most would be Harris Publications

I would use this publisher as it is a known publisher for many rap magazines, such as XXL. Harris Publications Inc. is a consumer magazine publisher located in New York that publishes over 75 titles.


It is a small publishing company mainly based in america, but it has a few titles in Europe, it doesn't just cover the Rap/ Hip-Hop genre, it has a wide variety such as, horror, indie music etc.

Other Magazines that Harris publish are;

XXL

Antenna

Juicy

Rides

King

Combat Handguns

Special Weapons for Military & Police

Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement

Tactical Knives

The role of a publisher : A publisher is responsible for all aspects of acquiring, preparing and managing a book, magazine, or newspaper as it is edited and printed for sale.

The reason why Harris would publish my magazine is to do with my USP (Unique selling Point) my USP is that my magazine is the first Rap Magazine to be published in the UK featuring both American stars and up and Coming British artists, to give them a chance to gain some sort of publicity. I think Harris would want to publish my magazine for this reason.
