Industry - IPC


IPC

  • IPC (International Publishing Corporation) was established in 1963 with a merge of George Newnes (1881), Odhams Press (1880) and Fleetway Publications (1890) with Mirror Group.
  • The Field (1853) joined the IPC in 1994 followed by Harmsworth Magazines.
  • IPC was then taken over by Time Warner in 2001, then renamed as Time Inc. UK in 2014.
  • In 2018 Meredith Corporation formed with Time Inc. UK.
  • Time Inc. UK was then taken over by Epiris LLP, then re branded to TI Media in June 2018. 

  • A product is shaped by it's ownership by the owner's ideology being put into the product as well as the regulation.
  • The publisher is a large mainstream organisation, in which it is a part of a media conglomeration.
  • The IPC also produces as well as the 'Woman' magazine, such as, 'World Soccer', 'What's On TV' and 'Cycling Weekly'.
  • This is significant for 'Woman' magazine as TI Media publishes the copies of the magazines.

  • The Time Inc. UK is split into equestrian, cycling, interiors, craft and beauty.
  • Digital audience increased from online websites of the magazines and on social media. The consumption of media is different and is evolving.
  • Time Inc. is a global organisation and is a very intergrated company.
