CNN This Morning has tapped Lauren Mensch and Chris Russell as its new executive producers, an effort to bolster the network’s morning show after its debut in November. They will succeed Eric Hall, who departed in January to helm the 11 PM hour of CNN Tonight hosted by Laura Coates. Russell will executive produce during the dayside and evening hours, focused on editorial and infrastructure for the following morning. Russell was the executive producer of NewsNation’s On Balance with Leland Vittert. He previously was senior executive producer at NBCUniversal and oversaw the daily lifestyle programming for Quibi.
