News Corp Consolidates All Fox Interactive Employees Into New Facility

Any doubts about how the congloms think about the future of new media?
Fox Interactive (of the Murdoch Fox empire) just took a 12 year lease on a new 300,000 square foot (“wowza”) facility in Playa Vista, as reported here by Tech Crunch.  They will leave behind their current Beverly Hills location for the new mega-complex which puts them closer to the 405 and the airport.
FIM joins gamer Electronic Arts (now EA) which is a mile away and others in the new media area, recreating the “all politics is local” view of the high tech world here in Silicon Valley where 3D chip design companies cluster in Fremont while social networking companies like Facebook hang together (or separately, in the inevitable shake out to come) in downtown Palo Alto.
