Look on scibd for primers. All I saw was an older DB telecom primer.

i would suggest reading industry publications such as adweek, mediaweek, adage, variety etc. pick a couple of companies in each subsector - conglomerates, ad agencies, broadcasting, newspapers, magazines etc., and read their k's to understand what drives their business. there is a lot of activity in the sector so make sure to stay on top of all the news.
