Would IPC be a suitable publisher for a new music magazine?
-IPC has been associated with many types of magazine and target audiences such as: middle aged females (Marie Claire), 35-60 year old men (GOLF Monthly), young men aged 16-30 (nuts) and many more. Basically IPC has many brands of which would appeal to different target audiences depending on the genre of the magazine.
-IPC may be an appropriate publisher for a new music magazine because it publishes NME and NME is one of the longest running music magazines, it adapts well with technology so keeps people interested so therefor is provided with what it needs in order to still be successful. Therefor i believe it would be a good publisher to publish with.
-Types of music genres which may be published by IPC include rock and indie music
-An alternative publisher like Bauer may be appropriate as it is bigger so therefor has more money in order to produce and make the magazine the best it could be. In addition to this it has many popular magazines such as Zoo, FHM and Heat. Furthermore if you was to publish a music magazine Bauer would be better as it has a range of music magazines that have a range of genre's such as: Magic, Cool Fm and Music.
