CNN has announced a new executive producer for The Source with Kaitlan Collins, as Vaughn Sterling will step into the role.
The move marks a return to CNN for Sterling, who worked for over two decades at the network after joining in 2001. Most recently, he served as the senior executive producer of new and features at The Wall Street Journal. In that role, he oversaw the company’s digital video efforts.
During his first stop at CNN, Vaughn Sterling was part of the original team that launched The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. He also served as a senior broadcast producer for the company’s 9 PM ET hour, and as a breaking news executive producer for the short-lived CNN+ streaming platform.
In his new role, Sterling will join the already established team on The Source with Kaitlan Collins, and will be based at the network’s New York bureau.
The Kaitlan Collins-led program joined the CNN lineup in 2023, replacing the show previously hosted by Chris Cuomo in the network’s offerings. It underwent a retooling earlier this year, moving from its traditional studio to a set in the Washington newsroom at CNN.
