Appendix C: Journalism: A Guide to Recent Literature - Section 11. Journalism Periodicals

A. Trade Publications

These titles demonstrate the breadth of professional trade publications available in North America. But the listing can't be complete, for depending on how you define the category, many others might be included. Further, there are many more titles (some of which appear in English) published elsewhere as well. Nearly all maintain some kind of web presence, often including both current and past issue access and sometimes a means of searching specific topics.
