The folks at Book TV announced yesterday afternoon that they had hired Cleve Corner (right), the former events coordinator at Washington indie bookstore Politics & Prose, to produce more segments with historians for their weekend programming. Corner will also be working on the shows that form the cornerstone of the Book TV weekend, like In Depth and After Words. Says exec producer Connie Doebele of the hire, “His experience selecting books and writers that represent multiple viewpoints combined with his contacts and knowledge of the publishing industry complement the Book TV production team.”
(That photo of Corner comes from the Washington Book Publishers newsletter, by the way. Sorry it’s a bit blurry; we work with whatever the ‘net provides us!)
