News Corp. has tapped Greg Clayman, who runs digital distribution for Viacom (VIA), to run the new publication’s business operations.

For some reason, News Corp. (NWS) people (who also own this site), don’t like to use the word “newspaper” to describe their plans for the news…thing. But as earlier reports have detailed, the idea is to create a subscription-based digital news service, designed expressly for mobile platforms like Apple’s (AAPL) iPad and Google’s (GOOG) Android phones and upcoming tablets.

New York Post Executive Editor Jesse Angelo will oversee the service’s editorial role. And if you did call this thing a newspaper, you could call Clayman the publisher.
