Media Institutions Research



All magazines are produced and distributed by different media institutions. I chose to look at the production and distribution of NME magazine.
From this i found out many different things about how the magazines are produced and what different process' they under go.
IPC media is the name of the company that are behind the production of NME magazine. They are one of the UK's leading consumer magazine and digital publishers. In 1963 it was formed as International Publsihing Company. Then in 1968 the company bought the Daily Mirror and became the IPC-Mirror group.
IPC media groups titles under five different divisions and these consist of Connect (women's weeklies such as Now Magazine and Look), Inspire (leisure and specialist), Ignite! (men's lifestyle and entertainment), SouthBank (women's lifestyle and home interest) and TX (portfolio of television titles). In addition, there is Marketforce, the UK's leading magazine distribution business.
