IB Industry Trends?

What does it mean to keep up to date with industry trends and what’s the best way to do so?

I read WSJ on a daily basis and I’d say I’m up-to-date on the general economic outlook, but is there a good news-site or platform that is more IB focused? WSJ Business section covers the biggest M&A deals, but when people say to keep up to date on trends, is this sufficient, or where could I find more IB focused news that would help me during my coffee-chats/ interviews?
