Trade websites and magazines are specialized sources of information for people working in the field that they serve.
Their goal is to inform people working in their field about the latest news and developments related to the field.
These specialized articles are typically written in either magazine or newspaper article styles and include attractive colour images.
Their authors are often members of the profession, and sometimes journalists who have developed good knowledge of the profession. The author’s background is usually specified when it relates to the profession.
Specialized vocabulary and concepts are common as they are familiar to the readers. This makes the articles more challenging for general readers to understand.
The articles may or may not include references for the sources used.
