Over the last weeks, News Corp. Chief Digital Officer Jon Miller and MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta have had their hands full directing massive layoffs at the flagship social-networking site, as well as throughout the Fox Interactive Media division.

The pair discussed the many challenges faced by the giant media company in its digital enterprises in an onstage interview with Walt Mossberg and me at the seventh D: All Things Digital conference last month.

That included everything from how News Corp. (NWS) online content is paid for to the need for MySpace to innovate, as Facebook has surpassed it.
