David Bohrman, CNN's Washington bureau chief for the nine years, is taking the senior VP/chief innovation officer post for CNN Worldwide, a new position, on May. 1. He will report to Jim Walton, president.
As chief of CNN’s election coverage, Bohrman broke new ground via the CNN/YouTube debates and the launch of the "magic wall," according to a staff memo from Walton.
Walton praised Bohrman's "passion for what is new and next" and his ability to use emerging technology to provide a "bigger canvas" for CNN's editorial output.
CNN expects to name a new CNN/D.C. chief as soon as possible.
