CNN has a new senior vice president of digital editorial and programming as the cable news channel announced that Marcus Mabry is taking over the position (h/t TV Newser).
Mabry will oversee the CNN Digital Global Programming, Features, and Visuals teams in his new role with the network. The CNN executive has been with the company since 2016, joining the network as the director of mobile.
Before taking over this position, Mabry had been the interim Senior Vice President of CNN digital editorial from Meredith Artley, who left the news media outlet in May.
“This is an honor,” Mabry said in a statement. “Not many boys raised by a single mom in Trenton get to occupy these positions of responsibility in American journalism.
“I could not be more excited to lead these talented teams at such a consequential time for our platforms, our network, and our world.”
Mabry will continue functioning with Smolkin and her digital newsgathering team and represent Digital Editorial on CNN’s digital leadership team.
