February 27, 2009--London, UK
- Gibson Inc. releases first podcast "PR in the Next Generation” which discusses issues the public relations industry is facing as new media continues to grow.
- New media is affecting the PR industry in a variety of ways, but the new technology is especially changing the way the corporate PR sector operates.
- Social Sites, blogs, and Twitter accounts (among other sites) are shifting power from large corporations and leaders to the general public by providing them with stronger voices and a wider reach.
- In the past, the corporate PR sector has been very private in order to protect their reputations.
- The growing use of new media is changing communication models within societies forcing corporations to be more public and open about what goes on behind closed doors, which is causing problems for those in management who are not comfortable with technology or transparency.
- A PR Week article found that new media was a hurdle for companies, in fact, 42% admitted to using a limited amount of new media.
- PR in the Next Generation will be a weekly podcast discussing a variety of issues facing the PR industry as technology continues to expand.

that needed to be addressed."

"My perspective is that communication models are foundational, that when society shifts from one communication model to another, all institutions in society get reinvented according to the logic of a new medium"
