Chanda Taylor, 35, a television producer who worked at CNN and WSB-TV in Atlanta, died Thursday at her home in Newnan, Ga., after a battle with brain cancer.

In 1998, Ms. Taylor became a news producer at WSB, where former colleagues remember her as level-headed and steady in the tumultuous environment of television news.

She was a graduate of Northwestern University's journalism school in Evanston, Ill.

At WSB, she produced newscasts in every time slot before leaving the station in 2005 to become an executive producer at WFTV in Orlando, Fla. She returned to Atlanta in 2007 to become a producer at CNN.

Ms. Taylor also was president of the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists and is credited with being a strong leader in a time of transition and financial uncertainty for the organization.
