Question 3-What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Publishers which might be likely to publish my magazine would be small publishers because this for a teenage audience, I'm not really distributing mainstream. I want my magazine to be distributed in small shops, were teenagers and possibly adults like to go. I have done some research into the distribution and I have found several advantages and disadvantges in both large and small publishers.
Large publishers would be good for my magazine because they would be able to get my magazine into many large public shops such as WH Smith, or even distribute the magazine globally. The disadvantages for using big publishers are: Only interested in advertising and the reading audience, meaning that they will have a large amount of editing and control power over what goes into the magazine.
I'm not sure what the reaction would be if I released my magazine, because no one would have heard of a magazine that likes to include nearly every music genre. I think I could make it rock, metal, pop genres to pull in a massive audience. Of course when it becomes a best seller, the publishers would want to sell more and eventually CDs which could bring in more money.
