CQ Homeland Security
The new Homeland Security Department — along with the $100 billion industry it has spawned — is not just a Washington story, but also a local story across the country. And the best place for journalists to learn about it is Congressional Quarterly's Homeland Security (http://homeland.cq.com), the only daily publication covering the topic. This one-stop shop for news, analysis, contacts, and resources is run by a team of four reporters and three editors.
I don't often recommend sites that charge, but this is a worthy exception for those with the right budget. After a free four-week trial, the site charges $1,250 a year for the daily mix of enterprise stories and alerts to homeland security developments. There is a $2,500 level that provides updated government and private sources, as well as audio, video, and transcripts of hearings. Some media outlets qualify for a discounted price (contact Sean Doyle at sdoyle@cq.com for more information).
