Aspen Institute Reports

It's good to keep an eye out for Aspen Institute reports from its Communication & Society Program section. The program convenes leaders in the areas of information and communication for roundtable discussions to explore the political, economic, and societal impact of communications and information infrastructures. It also promotes research and distributes conference reports. Recent (2007) reports include: Next-Generation Media: The Global Shift; The Mobile Generation: Global Transformations at the Cellular Level; The Future of Video: New Approaches to Communications Regulation; Unmassing America: Ethnic Media and the New Advertising Marketplace. These reports are for sale at a reasonable price at the site but I discovered they are actually free on the open web. Just google a chunk of the title and they will come up in a full pdf.
