Music Magazine Research-Publisher Research

Music Magazine Research

I decided when researching different types of music magzines, Iwould try and find who are the people behind it. I then researched what where the three main publishes, where I found that they were EMAP, Bauer Media, and Time Inc UK. Below I have outlined interesting facts and information that may be useful to me in the future when creating my own music magazine.

EMAP is a content, subscription and net-working business that connect influential people and organisations to a high- value network of decision makers, data and ideas through our industry-leading portfolio of brands including Retail Week, Health Service Journal, MEED, Architects’ Journal and Drapers.
Their purpose is to connect professional communities and inspire them to know, to grow, progress and win. Brands such as Health Service Journal and Retail Week create deep relationships and unparalleled reach, to increase value for our customers.
They deliver this through senior networking events; industry leading awards; online data products; social media communities; headline conferences and, of course, critical insight, news and analysis. EMAP hear the market agenda, and create innovative solutions and better ways for our advertisers and sponsors to connect with their audience. They also provide highly valued subscription services and are rewarded by a following.
