Magazine industry - In the UK there are over 3000 different “consumer” magazines, but a large amount of the main magazines are owned and published by a small group of companies. These companies are usually in competition with each other. Magazines make most of their money through selling advertising spaces. Advertisers like magazines because they enable them to reach very specific “niche” audiences.
IPC Media publish both the NME and Uncut Music magazines. Bauer Media publish Mojo, Kerrang and Q music magazines which are all main popular music magazines purchased and read by the public. Future media publishing publish magazines on instruments and genres of music such as Classic rock and Computer Music.
