IPC Media
IPC media are responsible for one of the biggest guitar music magazines NME. IPC also are responsible for popular magazines such as Nuts.

BBC Magazines
The BBC are a very well known media institution. They cover such a wide variety of aspects in the media. BBC Magazines are among the branch of the huge media conglomerate BBC. They produce the well known 'Top of the pops' magazine, and were responsible for the TV programme also. They are responsible for other magazines such as Radio times, Gardeners world etc.

Which media institution would publish your magazine?
I like the idea of Development Hell Ltd publishing my magazine because as mentioned they cater well for my genre Electronica/Dance. I also love the idea of Bauer Media group because they sound familiar and successful and they cater for some of the most successful magazines.
