Trade publications cover news, trends, or products in an industry or professional field; they often include information about employment and careers too. They're aimed at practitioners and professionals in the field, so they will use specialized language, but they're usually easier to read than scholarly articles. If they have articles presenting research, they're usually brief, with short bibliographies, but some trade publications include scholarly articles too. Professional organizations often produce their own trade publications for their members.
This Trade Publications page has information on identifying and locating trade publications.
