I did consider using Bauer Media as the publisher for my magazine, as they made magazines such as Q and Kerrang very successful. I think that Q has quite an influence on my magazine, but I believe that IPC Media would be the best magazine publishing company for my magazine. This is because the magazine that I have based mine on (NME) was also made very successful by this company. NME has a similar target audience to my magazine, so IPC Media may be able to help me achieve that target audience.
