Can Katie cut it as a nightly news anchor? I agree with Dan, she will have to become a leader not only in the newsroom, but also WHILE in the anchor chair. Only thing I have to say to Katie is Good Luck because I’m sure it’s exciting and scary all at the same time. But, I have a feeling she can pull it off.

Rather: Couric Will Need to Be a Leader - Yahoo! News

 

LAS VEGAS - Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather wished his successor luck Monday, but said Katie Couric will need to be a leader and demonstrate a passion for news to succeed in the anchor chair.

“No doubt the CBS Evening News will be different,” Rather said, referring to changes planned for the broadcast beyond the new anchor.

“Katie is a superb person and she’s a great pro. I’ll be rooting for her and I wish her well.”
