Interview: Just How Much of Katie Couric Is Yahoo Really Getting?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just when you thought CEO Marissa Mayer’s Yahoo was about tools and tech, the portal goes and hires one of the biggest (and most expensive) names in TV news past and present: Katie Couric.
She’s just the latest big name in news to join Yahoo under Ms. Mayer, who personally courted the former co-host of “Today” and anchor of the “CBS Evening News.” She arrives right behind former New York Times tech writer David Pogue, New York Times Magazine staffer Matt Bai and editor Megan Liberman.
She joins Yahoo next year as global anchor of its news division, but because Ms. Couric is retaining her syndicated daytime talk show, how much of her time Yahoo will get remains to be seen.
