Katie Couric as News Anchor
It has been dismaying to see the attention over hiring a woman to anchor the evening news by herself.  When Bob Schieffer stepped in for disgraced anchor Dan Rather, no one commented on his clothing or Photoshopped his images to make him look thinner.  Charles Gibson wasn't subjected to this laser-like intensity.

It is 2006, people, not 1956 - what is the big deal?

Longtime Philly news anchor, Larry Kane says:
She has probably interviewed more major news personalities than anyone in television, with the exception of Barbara Walters. Those who question whether a solo woman anchor can succeed on national TV should grow up. A new era is underway.

It surprises many of us outside the US, where solo network female anchors are not so odd, that there are even these questions over Katie’s gender.

I know - I watch Canadian TV and the BBC America news - both of which often have female anchores with no comment about how they dress, or how thin/fat they are.
