London, UK March 1, 2009

· Kimona Wilson, recently appointed New media Exec at Wilcom PR has mastered the technique of creating Podcasts, Screencasts, and Vodcasts.

· Kimona used this technology to carefully craft a screencast to discuss an ongoing debate in the sectors. She has done research in order to answer the heavily debated topic ‘Does new media pose any serious threat to traditional media?’

Her research indicates that there is a decline in the usage of traditional media for news and information. The studies also reveal that there is a 24% decline in newspaper readership and the internet is replacing television as the main source of news among young people

· Social media sites are continuing to grow while traditional media outlets are struggling to survive.

· Many traditional media sites are now moving towards online communications by setting up their own websites. Kimona’s research also reveals that though new media poses a threat to traditional media, there is still some interdependence between the two.
