Publishers

The publishing company I will use to produce my magazine is IPC media as there is currently only one music magazine within their vast selection of magazines they produce. The only magazine they produce is NME this magazine is a completely different style to the magazine I wish to create. The genre of my magazine is pop, whereas NME is more indie rock and is aimed at people in their twenties whereas Refresh is aimed at teens. IPC Media produces over 60 iconic media brands, with print alone reaching almost two thirds of UK women and 42% of UK men – almost 26 million UK adults. They currently don't produce any magazines for children or teens so my magazine will be completely different to anything they have produced, and will add to their large selected range of magazines. They currently produce magazines for women, such as Look, Now, Chat and Women, they also produce magazines for men, such as Rugby World, Nuts, Mousebreaker and World Soccer.
The International Publishing Corporation Ltd was formed in 1963 following the merger of the UK's three leading magazine publishers, George Newnes, Odhams Press and Fleetway Publications, who came together with the Mirror Group to form IPC. And IPC Magazines was created five years later, in 1968. In 2000 IPC Magazine renamed itself IPC Media.
