About Erin Horan

Erin Horan is a seasoned, two-time national Emmy-award winning producer, who has worked at the highest levels of network television for 60 Minutes, Paramount, CBS, Showtime, and more. With nearly twenty years in the television business, she’s covered the nation’s top breaking news stories for CBS News from presidential elections to terrorist attacks, natural disasters, school shootings, impeachment hearings, and the fight for racial justice. She’s produced interviews with the most consequential leaders, athletes, politicians, movie stars, musicians, CEOs, and change-makers of our time.

Her versatility in storytelling transcends through sports, news, live television, entertainment, and long-form. From working on the most recognized news program in U.S. history (60 Minutes), to live producing on a national morning show (CBS Mornings), she’s covered stories from extreme sports to the fight for equal pay. Recently, she was a lead producer for specials on CBS and NBC Sports, including directing a shoot with Tiger Woods. She’s produced interviews with four U.S. Presidents, the FBI Director, senators, secretaries of state, Oprah, Megan Rapinoe, and more. From live producing in the U.S. Capitol, to Helsinki for the 2018 Presidential summit, she’s worked alongside top talent, war correspondents, and anchors like Norah O’Donnell, Gayle King, Anderson Cooper, and Bob Simon. 

Directing shoots is her first love. She can jump into live producing on a national show at a moment’s notice, having worked as an anchor producer and live producer for CBS Mornings. When she’s not on the road, she teaches students about the craft of storytelling as an adjunct journalism professor.
