CNN opens Denver bureau with Ana Cabrera

[Colorado Media Newsroom]

From The Denver Post:


CNN opened a four-person Denver bureau to (quiet) fanfare Monday night with a small reception to introduce correspondent Ana Cabrera. Upstairs at Euclid Hall in Larimer Square, Cabrera met a sea of law enforcement personnel (the FBI was out in force) and a few media types. The Denver native and former 7News anchor, who was with KMGH since 2009, expressed gratitude at having the chance to cover the region. She said she looked forward to a “mutually beneficial relationship” with CNN’s local TV affiliates.
Terence Burke, CNN’s VP-newsgathering based in New York, told the gathering that CNN’s re-entry into Denver marks a “new commitment to a broad range of stories” (ie. not just the most horrible breaking news events) and represents a plan to be “fully engaged in this market.”
While CNN has long had reporters here, the new bureau at 16th Street and Broadway represents a larger investment in the region, with senior producer Sara Weisfeldt, photojournalist Ken Tillis and a satellite truck operator yet to be named.
