I only have 3rd-degree connections to Gladwell, so this may be completely wrong, but I've heard he knows everyone in the communications field and synthesizes trends and topics from traveling and talking with a lot of researchers. His books aren't rigorously data-driven - they kind of coax out an intuition that explains things - so I think he gets ideas from conversations with people more than reading published works directly.
