Lisa Bloom Joins Newsreader Rotation at AC360

By Alissa Krinsky 

You may have noticed CNN and CBS News Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom rotating in as newsreader on CNN’s AC360, making appearances both this week and last.

The job has been open since Erica Hill’s departure for CBS in January. Substitutes have included CNNers Stephanie Elam, Poppy Harlow, Lisa Sylvester, and Jessica Yellin, among others.

For Bloom, the news stint is a departure from her role as a commentator and as a practicing attorney. Bloom joined CNN after leaving sister network truTV last year, where she anchored Open Court.
