Trade publications are magazines whose target audience is individuals that work in a certain trade or industry. The content in trade publications is often focused on industry trends, new technologies, important developments and mergers, and other information relevant to the field. These can be valuable sources of information. For example, Beverage World would be a good trade publication to consult for updates on Coca-Cola. Advertising Age is the top trade journal for the field of advertising.
