Couric’s Evening News Debut

By Kristina DeVoe on September 6, 2006 4:55 PM | | Comments (0)
Katie Couric's much anticipated debut on "CBS Evening News" Tuesday evening was fodder for Wednesday's news. Commentaries seemed to focus on the lack of newsiness of the day, in addition to Couric's attire and weight - presumably due to the recent Couric photograph snafu. See commentaries from select media below.

While the Boston Globe deemed Couric and the program "competent and safe," The Washington Post declared the evening "a hit." Tim Goodman of The San Francisco Chronicle simply stated that Couric's 22 minutes was "different," hinting at the "softer," feminine aspect of the program. The Chicago Sun-Times also commented on the softness of the program, exclaiming that future news programs may be filled with 15 minutes of hard news and 15 minutes of soft news.
