Katie’s second husband, John Molner, told her, “If you’re not going to be honest, don’t write a book.” She founded KCM in 2017, after a short-lived stint with Yahoo, usurping local reporters. She admits, in the book’s closing chapter that, “It’s an adjustment when the white-hot spotlight moves on.” That seems to be true. Katie Couric’s current “job,” supported/organized by her second husband John Molner, is something known as Katie Couric Media. After I learned, unexpectedly and with no warning, that none of our writing would be preserved, I hired two teachers who were off for the summer and we split up the areas by topic. I’ve mellowed some since that abrupt uprooting, and it did lead to two books on the 2008 Obama campaign (“Obama’s Odyssey: The 2008 Race for the White House”), which, otherwise, would have remained blog ramblings from the field that took place over 24 months of time. I must admit that this impacted my opinion of Katie Couric, at the time.
Our money went to Katie, so we were all summarily fired, without even enough time to get our stories down from the Associated Content website. 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.”
