IP Democracy: Levinsohn Replaces Levinsohn at Fox Interactive

Ross Levinsohn, President of Fox Interactive Media since it was formed last year when News Corp. hit the Web 2.0 world running, is being replaced by Peter Levinsohn, most recently President of Digital Media in the Fox Entertainment Group. Supposedly R. Levinsohn is leaving because he’s an entrepreneur and P. Levinsohn is coming on board because he’s an operations guy.

Om has word that R. Levinsohn really is an entrepreneur and is planning to start a new online media aggregation company. As he also points out, it seems that major media companies these days are pushing out the new media guys in favor of the old media guys (to wit, AOL’s dismissal of Jon Miller in favor of Randy Falco).

it seems to me that the old media companies are putting old media guys in charge of their new media empires, a move as risky as skating on a lake. You just don’t know where the ice is thin!
