EDELMAN NEW MEDIA UNIT

Edelman Public Relations Worldwide, Chicago/New York, formed a new media unit. Based in its New York office, the firm will focus on serving the growing number of new media companies there, which have led some to refer to New York as "Silicon Alley."

The group will be headed by Renee Edelman, executive vice president and daughter of firm founder Dan Edelman. (Edelman, 212/704-4530)
