Heads of operations regularly talk vacantly about new media? (6)

I believe the answer is:

organs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'media?' is the definition.
(organ is a kind of medium)

'heads of operations regularly talk vacantly about new' is the wordplay.
'heads of' suggests taking the first letters.
'talk vacantly' becomes 'gas' (gas can mean to chat. I am not sure about the 'vacantly' bit.).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
The first letters of 'operations regularly' is 'or'.
'gas' going around 'n' is 'gans'.
'or'+'gans'='ORGANS'

(Other definitions for organs that I've seen before include "Such as liver, heart, etc" , "Functional units in the body" , "Heart and lungs are vital ones" , "Air-powered keyboard instruments" , "Functional parts of the body, or musical instruments" .)
