This type of publication can almost be considered a specialized subset of popular publications. Trade/industry/professions publication are magazines or newsletters are marketed toward people who work in or with a particular trade or industry. As a result, the topics that they cover are fairly niche and specialized. Because they are directed at these specific groups of readers, they include lingo, jargon, and acronyms that might not be familiar to the average person. However, the level at which the articles are written is such that the could be read much more easily than a scholarly article on a similar topic. Think People Magazine or Sports Illustrated--but for a specialized audience.
For example, the ESports Observer is an industry publication that is the "world’s leading source for essential esports business news and insights."
