The Magazine of Hawaii, are directed toward potential
Phoenix, Arizona. Others, such as  Denver  Living,  are
for newcomers to an area. Still others, such as  Aloha,
visitors to a particular city, state, or country.
There are magazines for the members of almost all
religious  sects   (Catholic   Digest,   Baptist   Herald,
Mennonite  Brethren  Herald,  The  National  Jewish
Monthly,  etc.)  and  most  clubs,  associations  and  fraterni-
ties.
In short, virtually every group has a corresponding
consumer magazine published expressly for it.
TRADE,  TECHNICAL,  PROFESSIONAL
AND  BUSINESS
Magazines in the trade, technical, professional and
business class are published for active business people.
The readers of these publications are looking for ways
to improve their businesses and increase profits. While
they might appreciate a little humor in the articles and
want the material to be well-written, they are not reading
them for pleasure.
These business journals are designed to appeal to
one of the following three specific groups:
Retailers
Manufacturers
Professionals   and   industry   experts
Retailers, along with business people who perform
various  services,  are  interested  in  such  subjects  as
successful  sales  campaigns  and  unique  merchandise
displays.  Manufacturers  expect  articles  dealing  with
ways  to  solve  industry  problems,  such  as  personnel
absenteeism  and  equipment  failure.  Professionals  and
industry experts want stories about new techniques and
technical developments in their respective fields.
All of these business people are interested in making
money and managing their businesses more efficiently.
Therefore, the primary purpose of each of the business
journals is the goal of helping its readers do their jobs
better.  Besides  stories  about  business  trends  and
solutions  to  problems,  these  publications  often  offer
advice  on  ways  a  particular  business  can  be  operated
more  profitably.
Trade  Journals
While the term trade journal is often applied to all
publications  in  the  business  journal  class,  there  are
subtle differences.
A  trade  refers  to  skilled  work  usually  requiring
extensive  training,  but  not  necessarily  formal  education,
to master it. Carpentry is one example of a trade; printing
is  another.  Therefore,  a  trade  journal  is  a  publication
addressing the skilled laborers in a particular field, or
the work they perform.  Motor Magazine  and Ceramic
Monthly are examples of trade journals.
Technical  Journals
Technical  journals  usually  discuss  sophisticated
material,   equipment   or   instruments   and   their   use.
Examples  of  technical  journals  are   Datamation,
Broadcasting and Photomethods.
Profesional  Journals
Professional journals are publications intended for
professional   people.   This   group   primarily   includes
persons   with   a   vocation   or   occupation   requiring
advanced  education  and  training  and  involving
intellectual  skills.  This  group  specifically  comprises
those working in such fields as law, medicine, theology,
education,   engineering,   journalism,   and   so   forth.
However, the term professional  has, in general use, been
expanded.  It  now  includes  the  executives,  managers,
department  heads,  some  staff  members  and  even  the
sales force of most business enterprises.
Business  Journals
There  are  business  journals  for  those  persons  in,
seemingly,   every   occupation   imaginable.   There   is
Cashflow  for   accountants,   Advertising   Age   for  ad
agency personnel,  Chiltons Food Engineering  for those
in   the   food   and   beverage   processing   industry   and
American Psychologist for psychologists.
There  is  Scholastic   Coach   for  high  school  and
college   sports   personnel,   Instructor  Magazine  for
elementary school teachers,  American Bee Journal for
amateur   and   professional   beekeepers   and   Grocery
Distribution    for  operators  of  food  warehouses  and
distribution   centers.   Police  is   published   for   law
enforcement  personnel  and  Editor  and  Publisher  for
newspaper  personnel.  There  is  the  ABA  Journal  for
lawyers,  Private  Practice  for  medical  doctors  in  private
practice and C&S  (Casket  and  Sunnyside)  for  funeral
directors. Across the Board caters to business people.
