The Annenberg Washington Program in Communications Policy Studies was founded in 1983 as a forum where policymakers, industry officials, academics, the public and the press could examine communications policy issues. The site offers free access to more than 90 of their publications, on such diverse topics as medical communications, international relations and the First Amendment. Their critical remit covers the world of non-fiction publishing and not just the news media. The site offers an archive of research reports on news coverage of such diverse issues as economics, science, and politics, recent press releases and links to international media monitoring organizations. It's published bimonthly by the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
Selected articles are available on their site.
