MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta Exits

After less than a year, Owen Van Natta is leaving the post as MySpace CEO, effective immediately, News Corp. said late Wednesday.

The news comes after reports of style differences between Van Natta and other top executives at the social networking site.

He will be replaced by newly elevated co-presidents Mike Jones and Jason Hirschhorn, who will report to Jon Miller, chairman and CEO of digital media for the conglomerate.

All three executives joined MySpace in April 2009.
