NEW YORK (AP) — News Corp. says it has hired two new executives at MySpace, expanding the online hangout's management team after having just replaced its CEO on Friday.
On Monday, News Corp. said Michael Jones, who's founded several online businesses, will serve as MySpace's chief operating officer. He replaces Amit Kapur, who left last month.
Jason Hirschhorn, most recently the president of Sling Media Inc.'s entertainment group, will be chief product officer, a new position.
Owen van Natta, a former executive at MySpace rival Facebook, became MySpace chief executive on Friday, replacing co-founder Chris DeWolfe.
Jones, the new chief operating officer, founded Userplane, a developer of Web-based chat and other communications technologies for online communities. AOL bought Userplane in 2006.
