3. What kind of media institute might distribute your product and why?
The production process of my magazine would be as follows:
"The magazine was known for its political coverage beginning in the 1970s, with the enigmatic and controversial gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Rolling Stone magazine changed its format in the 1990s to appeal to younger readers, often focusing on young television or film actors and pop music. This led to criticism that the magazine was emphasizing style over substance. In recent years, the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content, including in-depth political stories, and has seen its circulation increase" Wikipedia.
This just emphasizes more on how perfectly my magazine would fit into the young audience music based pop format of the magazine. My magazine is essentially focused on the idea of a rising pop star and her influences on the the music industry. Rolling Stone magazine tends to do that with young and coming up artists which i think is a perfect representation of what i had hoped to achieve with the creation of my magazine. In the above picture Adele is used for the the main focus of this issue of the magazine, and when thought of Adele is basically a rising star not relatively known before a year or so. Rolling Stone due to its popularity tends to publicize artists who are thought of as "The Next Big Thing" which is what i have aimed to do with my magazine which is one of the reasons Rolling Stone would be a perfect distributor for my magazine
When thinking of advertisement of my magazine i would definitely at first opt for the internet. Over the course of the internet i have seen stars rise up, products rise up and so much more has been offered by the internet that i believe it would be the best format for advertisement. Otherwise TV would be another format on which advertisement would prove successful and billboards just as well. Rolling Stone has been a part of the magazine business for over 45 years now and they dont really need much advertisement anymore because of its already huge consumption. 45 years ago it advertisement was extremely simple, Tv, billboards and radio were the main formats but now with the inclusion of in the internet its ironic how it can either be huge overnight success or just a flop altogether. It depends on how much you are willing to spend on advertisement in the beginning rather than consumption of the magazine, the more you advertise in the beginning the more it starts to pay off later on which is part of what i believe.
The production process of my magazine would be as follows:
- A meet with the founders on a new and upcoming artist who has been having a rather large influence on the music industry (New Ideas).
- Researching on relatively similar products on the market
- Basic plans laid out
- Actual construction process
- Distributed by a huge institution for large scale consumption
To be honest i cant really think of a magazine who would actually be willing to distribute my product except for the one and only Rolling Stone magazine. I based most of my genre on it and the attitude i took towards the construction of the magazine was of that which would relate to the construction styles of magazines such as Rolling Stone.
Theres no particular company that owns Rolling Stone magazine rather there are the founders of the magazine such as Jann Wenner who also owns Men's Journal and Us Weekly. I believe that Jann Wenner would best fit into the category for distribution of my product because looked at Rolling Stone's previous music magazines, most of the genre they include in it is very similar to my creation which is pop.
