![]() Couric to report on our particular neck of the woods. We didn’t make a lot of money reporting on the news in our local areas, but many of the journalists nationwide, like me, were as well-qualified as Ms. When Yahoo hired Katie for a pretty penny, they fired the staff of veteran journalists around the country, of which I was one. A direct quote from Lesley Stahl to the Hollywood Reporter is, “I just wanted to be a survivor.”Ĭouric’s stint as the global news anchor of Yahoo News sounds the least productive, among those jobs where she was employed by a large organization. Oprah Winfrey came and went in a nano-second on “Sixty Minutes.” You can sort of figure out why when you hear about the lack of a warm, collegial feeling amongst the staff. She was not welcomed with open arms and the deal for her to do pieces on “Sixty Minutes” was especially problematic. The NBC “Today” show years with co-anchor Matt Lauer come off as her “best” times, and the move to CBS to become the first solo female anchor of an evening newscast seems to have been a mistake. I had read that she “burned a lot of bridges” but now, at 64, maybe that doesn’t matter to her. I just finished reading Katie Couric’s autobiography, “Going There.” ![]()
