Blogs To Replace Trade Magazines?

Will trade mags get replaced by blogs? In an interview for the Society of Professional Journalists mag, Dan Gillmor said blogs and other online media
have almost replaced trade magazines; adding that this trend is likely to
spread across other media genres as well.

Commenting on this in her PR blog, B L Ochman suggests that "Most printed trade magazines, replete with press releases, tend to be slow moving, conservative and not very exciting. [Blogs like] Adrants and MarketingVox focus sharply on the trades they cover, and skip all the corporate speak."
