Institutional research

Within my research of regional magazines, there are different institutions that fit in within the magazines. For example the locations, are people involved producing, editing etc. I am creating a regional magazine therefore I will need to research other regional magazines. I am researching Cornwall Today which is the UKs most popular regional magazine, not only that it was won numerous awards. The people involved in producing Cornwall Today such as the editor, publisher etc. In this instance the editor of Cornwall Today is Kirstie Newton and along side her is deputy editor Viki Wilson. There are also your editorial assistants Rebecca Bentley. The magazine overall is published by DC Media. The magazine is also printed and bound by PCP LTD.  However the company will have to have agreements and contracts for the photos they use, the local areas they go to they'll need permission for. The magazine also has interviews with celebrities such as Rick Stein. For all of this they will need contracts, agreements and permission to do this. This will also be the same for my magazine, I will need permission to go to certain areas, and also if I take photos of brands I will need permission due to certain laws such as: copyright laws.
To regulate my magazine I will use the IPSO who regulate magazines in the UK. The IPSO will regulate my magazine and Cornwall Todays magazine, as they are the main regulators in the UK, and magazines have to meet certain rules and regulations to be published. This can be many different things such as the editors code, which all magazine must follow. This could be from child protection to crime being featured or mistreated.
