As you are at PWC you're probably more interested in $500m and larger companies and deals. In terms of news the Deal.com is worthwhile, though is a pay-for subscription. PWC probably has a corporate subscription to Onesource, so I would encourage you to explore that, if you haven't done so already.
Finally, the Wallst Training is probably what you're looking for. Comprehensive on and off-line training in advanced modelling techniques for big deals.
Feel free to contact me if you have further or more specific questions.
