Jung Resigns from FIM, Facebook May Be Interested


Jung

Mark Jung has resigned as the COO of Fox Interactive Media, with FIM president Ross Levinsohn assuming that role for now. Jung is still listed by the company as the CEO of IGN.

Jung was brought in to organize FIM, but its acquisition of MySpace has overshadowed the purchase of videogame-related internet media firm IGN Entertainment, which Jung cofounded, explains paidContent's Rafat Ali. Jung was apparently unhappy with the direction that IGN was taking since being acquired by FIM.

Ali also writes,"The rumors I have heard (and these are rumors) is that Facebook has been speaking to him to be the CEO, or at least the number two person…again, there Mark vs Mark game might be too hard to get over…rumors are also that Zuckerberg has locked the VCs into contracts where they can't bring in anyone as CEO, above him."
