There are many different publishers out there some are larger than others. Firstly there are large companies such as IPC which is the current publisher of NME magazine, IPC is owned by time warner which is one of the biggest multinational media companies in the world. There are also large private publishing organisations such as bauer which is the biggest in europe. The third type of publishing company which could be used is a medium sized publisher or you could even make your own publishing company just to make your magazine.
There are many different advantages and disadvantages for choosing a certain publisher over another. If i was two choose a large company such as IPC i will have the advantage of being published by a large company and therefore will have publicity but they're maybe too much competition for my magazine to be a success, i may no have enough independance when finalising the print. Whereas if i was to go down the root of using a smaller publishing company i may not have as much publicity but i will have more independance when editing the magazine because it wont be big international company publishing it. If i were to choose a publisher i would pick IPC over bauer because they have a lot more competion for similar magazines. I may not have as much independance this wont matter because i believe that there experiance and knowhow will help it become a success.
