News Corp. has hired two top deputies to join former New York City Chancellor Joel I. Klein at its new education division. Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., Superintendent Peter Gorman will be a senior vice president and will work with school districts to implement programs; and Kristen Kane, the former chief operating officer for New York City schools, will be the division’s chief operating officer. Mr. Klein joined News Corp. as the chief executive officer of the division in January.
