David Bohrman, a veteran TV news producer who had a huge influence on how elections and other live special events are covered at places like CNN and CBS News, has died. He was 69.
CNN and other networks where Bohrman worked over the years issued statements late Sunday. No cause of death was given.
“He was the creator of more news programming than almost any other producer working in television news today,” CNN’s new leadership team wrote in a memo to employees. “Wherever he went, David was an innovator using the latest technology to enhance storytelling. He was a mentor to many.”
