AS Media - Publishing House Research

Questions to consider when researching Magazine Publishers:
  • How big are they? (staff, clients and finance)
  • Where do they distribute magazines?
  • Where are their offices?
  • How big is their worldwide magazine distribution?
  • What music magazine brands do they publish?
Potential Houses to look into:  IPC Media and Bauer Media


Put findings onto a single PowerPoint slide making sure that you consider how you present the information as well as the information itself.

  2. reasons given by the BBFC for its original ban
  3. reasons for BBFC's reversal of decision
See you for discussion on Tuesday 24th with fully-formed and beautifully-constructed theories on this topic.
