This expression is uncommon at best. (Many Google hits are just incidental combinations of the two words.) The article itself appears to be an attempt to combine elements that don't belong together. Please see Talk:News trade. A template and category for "News trade" have been previously deleted. Maurreen 17:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• As long as news is substantively distinguished and contrasted with news media - perhaps the more common term - then it seems fine to merge NT to NM. -SV|t 22:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete The article News trade seems more of an essay outline expressing the author's point of view on the news industry pulling together disperate elements into an implied but unclearly articulated thesis. The term news industry (a developing stub) is the common term used to discuss the business and economic aspects of the news business seperate and apart from the reporting function but with inclusion of the social questions related to the news business. Media economics (a developing article) is the common term for larger questions of economics related to media, including news, public affairs programs, documentary films, entertainment (of all kinds), program length commercials, sporting events, religious programs, shopping networks, media ownership, regulation, advertising rates and revenues, and marketing of media outlets. Wikipedia is not a place to invent terms for an original thesis or essay, I'd respectfully suggest the author of the article develop his thesis in a blog or other more appropriate web site or publication.
