Distribution Research #3

     Digital Distribution for different companies varies. Companies such as the New York Times charge 25 dollars a month for people to subscribe to their magazine. Sports Illustrated on the other hand charges $39 a year, which is roughly 1 dollar per issue. They can do this because they go through a different distributor, and they cover very different things. The New York Times covers everything going on in the world, when Sports Illustrated is focused on sports. Many magazines of different genres can charge different prices for their subscriptions. Image result for new york timesImage result for sports illustrated magazine

I plan to hand the magazine out at school and hopefully go to some local businesses to see if they will have my magazine at their store.
