Best old/trad media of the year: Mail on Sunday is my favourite newspaper of the year. Roger Alton is my old media editor of the year.

Best new media of the year: twitter, which after initially being sceptical of I have to admit is quite useful and drives a reasonable amount of traffic to our site. Though I've no doubt many would say twitter is SO 2007.
