The production company, Rust Movie Productions.
Alec Baldwin was both a producer of the movie, and part of the part of said production company.
So to answer your question, yes, he was.

That doesn't answer anything. Producer is a title that encompasses a lot of different things, what were his actual duties and responsibilities as a producer? That's what actually matters here, that he has a producer title on the movie and helped pay the bills doesn't mean he had any involvement in hiring or supervising the two people so far found legally culpable.
I thought the same, and it's definitely a witch hunt from the right, HOWEVER I also did some lookups and it sounds like he was basically running this movie. Even the director was taking orders from him, and the lax safety standards are pretty much directly because he ordered them to ignore them. So the witch hunt is stupid, but he does deserve punishment for his negligence.
Sorry for interrupting the witch hunt with questions. I've not seen that and no one ever points to any actual evidence.
