David Bohrman, a former veteran CNN producer and executive who pioneered the use of the “Magic Wall,” died following complications after hip surgery, according to his family.
Bohrman, a native of Hollywood, California, had a long and storied career in television, starting in local news in Los Angeles. He joined CNN in 1998 and later became the network’s Washington bureau chief and senior vice president. “David was a CNN institution, a leader and innovator who mentored many through decades in television news,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement. “His impact at CNN lives on in our programming and his passion for news will be felt in our halls every day.
“Now newscasts all over the world are produced this way.” At CNN, besides launching a number of shows like “NewsNight with Aaron Brown” and “The Moneyline Newshour,” Bohrman produced more than a dozen presidential debates for the network from 2003 to 2008 and executive produced many election nights. “David was a risk taker who every day wanted to find a better way to tell or show the story,” said John King, CNN’s chief national correspondent.
