Bauer Publishing is a potential publisher for the author's new magazine as they produce similar magazines like Empire and Q that blend music and film soundtracks. As a large European publishing group with over 300 magazines across 15 countries and online/mobile platforms, Bauer could distribute the magazine through both traditional print and digital formats like apps, taking advantage of their existing multimedia and distribution infrastructure. However, print still remains a popular format that allows the magazine to reach broader audiences but is more expensive than digital distribution.
