  • Katie Couric Raids Prime Time on Wednesday | Today's News: Our Take | 1/27/2009
    Prime time better watch its back: Not only will Jay Leno soon snag the 10 pm hour on NBC, but Katie Couric will borrow an 8 pm slot Wednesday for a special broadcast of The CBS Evening News. The show isn't leaving its normal 6:30 pm position. But network executives hope Couric's raid on prime time will showcase her strengths and help her snag more viewers earlier in the evening. CBS has been third in nightly news ratings since more than a decade before Couric arrived at the network in September 2006, but is the most-watch network in prime time. read more 16 Comments

  • Couric Blames News Blues on "Acceptable" Sexism | Today's News: Our Take | 7/23/2008
    Veteran newswoman Katie Couric says that she and Sen. Hillary Clinton have had their career trajectories stymied by sexism, which she claims is more tolerated than racism.Positing that she, as the anchor of CBS Evening News, is competing "in the last bastion of male dominance," Couric tells the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, "Sexism in American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable."Couric's apparent comparison of sexism to racism has drawn some fire, prompting her spokesperson to clear up something that perhaps was "lost in translation" by the Israeli news outlet.
