Zuckerberg Knocks Jobs Off UK Media Power Top Spot





Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has knocked Steve Jobs off the top spot of the UK's most powerful media people list compiled by The Guardian newspaper.

The 2011 list puts the Facebook Chief Executive at No.1, with the Apple CEO bumped down to  No.5.

Social media dominates the list: Facebook co-founder Jack Dorsey is at No.2.

One of the biggest drops is for Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer. He's out of the Top 100 list completely from 29th place last year.

News Corp boss, Rupert Murdoch, is in there at No.6 - down from No.4 - but perhaps the list was compiled before the phone-hacking scandal in the UK and the closure of the News of the World paper.
