Mayor Michael Bloomberg (News – Alert) named a top publishing executive with no background in education to head the nation’s largest school system after announcing Tuesday that New York City’s longtime chancellor was stepping down.

Hearst Magazines chairwoman Cathie Black will become the first female chancellor of the city’s 1.1 million–student school system, replacing Joel I. Klein, who has served as chancellor since 2002. Klein is leaving to become an executive vice president at News Corp.
