Used to disseminate scholarly information that relates to a particular academic discipline. They are aimed at researchers and are often peer-reviewed, which means that articles are evaluated by experts in the field before publication to ensure the information in them is accurate and well presented. An example of academic journal is Film Quarterly.
Generally printed on glossy paper (but can also be available online), they are aimed at a more general audience than academic journals and can include opinions and news items too. An example of magazine is Sight and Sound.
Published on a daily basis, the focus of these is on news items. They can also include a broad range of arts and cultural commentary and reviews. An example of a newspaper is The Guardian.
Usually published by a special group, learned society or professional organisation and aimed at people working in a specific industry. An example of trade publication is Screen International.
Newspapers are a good source of information for film and cinema, such as historic and current reviews, interviews, commentary and financial information.
