Katie Couric remembers the early days of her career in television news as "challenging" because she didn't conform to the stereotype of a "desirable broadcaster."

Reported 6 months ago

Katie Couric reflects on the challenges she faced in the male-dominated TV news industry in the 1980s, where she didn't fit the mold of a desirable broadcaster due to sexism and misogyny. Despite naysayers discouraging her and a lack of positive feedback, Couric worked hard to establish herself as a dedicated journalist, starting as a desk assistant at ABC and later becoming a co-anchor of the Today show, the first solo female anchor of CBS Evening News, and the host of the ABC talk show Katie. She continues to work as a global news anchor for Yahoo and emphasizes the importance of being her own advocate in her career.
