The MSC will now report directly to Gerson Zweifach, News Corp.’s senior executive vp and group general counsel, who has served as a member of the MSC since February.
Joel Klein, who previously oversaw the MSC, will transition back to his full-time role as executive vp and CEO of News Corp.’s education division.
“This shift will enable the company to consolidate its efforts with respect to ongoing U.K. and related investigations within its legal group, which Mr. Zweifach has led since joining News Corporation in February,” the company said.
