What's a trade publication?
Trade publications are generally written by people within an industry for people within an industry. For example, JCK is for people working in the jewelry industry, and the Chronicle of Higher Education is for people working at colleges and universities. Trade publications give great insight into the culture, vocabulary, trends, and inner workings of an industry.
