Katie Couric

Description: (Journalist and Television Host at All of the ‘Big Three' Television Networks in the United States)

Television journalist Katie Couric showed signs of her journalistic ability as an undergraduate student of the ‘University of Virginia’. She began her career with ABC, but left to serve CNN as a reporter, for the next seven years. She joined NBC as their White House Correspondent, and began to substitute for the regular anchor of NBC’s morning newsmagazine, ‘Today’. She eventually replaced its host Deborah Norville. Viewers loved her for her pleasant appearance, and admired her assertive style. ‘Today’ became the most watched news program in the morning slot. After 15 years with NBC, she moved to CBS News, and became the anchor of ‘CBS Evening News with Katie Couric’. The program won many ‘Emmy Awards’, and she became the only solo female anchor for the evening news in America. Her series of interviews for CBS called ‘The Sarah Palin interviews with Katie Couric’, were so decisive during the Presidential elections that it destroyed Republican prospects of winning. She became a correspondent for the CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’. Her first experience as a web show host came with ‘@katiecouric’ on CBSNews.com.
