Thank You for looking at my magazine and I hope you like it. I put a lot of time and effort into creating it and I made it exactly how I wanted it to be. The magazine links to my genre and context I chose and enabled me to create THE LOOT.
I've completed all my research and planning and thus finished my final magazine.
I hope you like it.

Evaluation Question. 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
As Harris Productions are already a well-known production company, they will be able to distribute my magazine easily and sufficiently as they will have experience about selling hot spots and so place my magazine in such places so it sells well. My magazine has a niche about it as it is top quality and contains a music context in it, which allows it to have a USP and sell better to a specific target audience who don't have as much information and quality like my magazine. XXL is the best magazine which can relate to mine and so I believe that the best publisher for my magazine will be the same people that publish XXL so that they can distribute my magazine easily and know how to establish it on the market.
As i have taken a lot of inspriation for my magazine from the well established magazine called XXL. The publishers for this magazine are called Harris Publications who were founded back in 1977; they would be the perfect for publishing my magazine as it links to the genre they create their magazine over. XXL magazine consists of many Hip Hop rappers which also links to the genre of my magazine and again makes them best publishers for my magazine. Due to XXL being such a established and popular magazine, by having the same publishers as them could hopefully take my magazine to a high level and allow the thousands of copies to be produced per month. XXL is a magazine which has the average price range on it which is around $2 per issue once they suscribe on it. The price of my magazine is £6 per issue and after it but also has a subscription box which saves the buyer a £1 and still leaves it in the top scale category. There is a massive gap in the market for this and will hopefully allow it to attract more people.
They ways in which my magazine can be distributed is mainly through being placed in shops and having large posters and flyers to promote the new and upcoming magazine. Once customers like the magazine, I could make a virtual magazine which can be viewed online as many people use the internet for their entertainment for artists and the music industry so I could produce and online version (which still comes at a price). When looking at the price range of magazine Harris Publications, they all have set price ranges and this is what I will do with my magazine when it is distributed and as it is a high price which takes it to the top quality price range for magazines, lowering the price by any means will not allow the magazine to stay at this prestigous position. This is known as Paid Circulation as the price of it will not change. The target audience for my magazine are people who love the hip hop culture and live by the rules of it; as it also appeals to the GET PAID crew social group who have good money which they will spend on the magazine and not think twice about the price of it. The reader can also suscribe to it which will mke it cheaper in the long run. As Harris Productions are already a well-known production company, they will be able to distribute my magazine easily and sufficiently as they will have experience about selling hot spots and so place my magazine in such places so it sells well. My magazine has a niche about it as it is top quality and contains a music context in it, which allows it to have a USP and sell better to a specific target audience who don't have as much information and quality like my magazine.
