Bauer is the largest privately owned publisher in Europe, publishing in Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Additionally, Bauer publishes in the United States and Mexico.

The Bauer Publishing Group was founded in Hamburg 1875 by Johann Bauer. Under the management of four generations of the Bauer family, The Bauer Publishing Group has grown from its humble beginnings as a printing house into a worldwide publishing empire comprising 238 magazines worldwide in 15 countries, as well as TV and radio stations.

Bauer entered the U.K. scene with Bella magazine in 1987. Introducing a new format that mixes previously unseen real life editorial and exciting service features, Bella made a significant impact on the women's market. The company gained attention again in 1990 with the launch of Take a Break magazine. Touching the lives of millions of women with its unique blend of upfront real life and competitions, the title quickly became market leader. Despite strong competition, Take a Break has maintained its no.1 status, currently selling over 1 million copies a week.

Bauer publishes other magazines such as Grazia, heat, Bella, closer, thats life and many other magazines.

My idea

Initially my idea Was to do a newspaper but after conducting my audience research i thought it would be better to put my initial idea into a style of a magazine instead of a newspaper. My idea has now changed and i am now doing a magazine which include real life stories still adapting the same idea from what i planned to do with my newspaper but instead i am now having real life crime and murder stories with interviews with i.e maybe there was a young teenage murder and i would interview the victims parent.

Audience Research - Gender

My audience is predominately female so my features to my magzine for my audience will entail more female interest stories but also including what both genders will find interesting.
