About John Murgatroyd

Possible summary: With over 20 years of experience in leading content development, production, and planning for global video productions, I am an award-winning content director who can create engaging and innovative stories across multiple platforms and tools. I have a proven track record of securing exclusive interviews, managing high-performance teams, and delivering impactful coverage for CNN, one of the world's leading news organizations. As the Director of Coverage for the Southeast region, I co-led a team of producers and reporters who covered news and enterprise stories for CNN television, online properties, and social networks. I guided the development of TV stories and digital text and video pieces from conception to completion, and worked closely with various internal and external stakeholders to determine assignments and clear reporting. I also directed and oversaw next-day-coverage strategies and priorities for domestic news coverage. Some of my notable achievements include winning an Emmy, a Peabody, and an International Television and Film Award.
