CBS sending Couric to Iraq, Syria

Katie Couric and small CBS team leave today for 12 days in Iraq and Syria, with live reports beginning Sept. 4th (Gen. Petraeus’ report comes out Sept.15th). When she first took the CBS job, Couric was critical of anchor trips to Iraq — she has never been there — unless she can advance the story. But executive producer Rick Kaplan says her presence has helped secure high-level interviews. “She has gotten us access to certain areas and people,” Kaplan said. “It’s good to have Katie on your side.”

  1. I’m trying to decide what’s more annoying…constant stories about Britney, or constant stories about Katie?

  3. Yeah. Let’s pray she stays there. And maybe Brian Williams can follow her.
