There are a number of publishing companies available to print and distribute music magazines. One of the biggest names in the industry is Bauer Media Group. They are responsible for the distribution of 'Q', 'KERRANG!' and 'Mojo'. Baur media Group have covered a range of genres: popular music, alternative and rock. Time Inc. is the publication company of NME and Uncut. This Company is more focused on the general entertainment sector. NME is described as a sort of music-news magazine and Uncut is a rock genre magazine.
Another option would be digital distribution of my magazine. Newer Iphone's have the 'News' application, which allows you to subscribe to news sources to read about what interests you. In the music section I found that the app other subscriptions to the music magazines: NME, Billboard, Uncut and the BBC Music Magazine. This enables you to read articles you would see in the physical copy of the magazine digitally, for free. The publishers submit there content to Apple news, and the stories are fetched by Apple from the publisher's website. Digital distribution may prove a good way of distributing my magazine, because the production costs would be low and that format is likely to be used by younger people.
