The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications has announced that CBS News’ Katie Couric will serve as emcee at the fourth annual Mirror Awards luncheon ceremony honoring excellence in media industry reporting. The luncheon will be held Thursday, June 10, from 11:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the Plaza Hotel, Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, New York City. Lorraine E. Branham, dean of the Newhouse School, will host the event.
Couric is anchor and managing editor of the “CBS Evening News with Katie Couric” which, when it debuted in 2006, made her the first female solo anchor of a weekday network evening news broadcast. She is also a “60 Minutes” correspondent and anchors CBS News primetime specials. She has reported on and anchored from some of the biggest stories, domestically and internationally. She was previously co-anchor of NBC News’ “Today” for 15 years and also worked for WRC-TV, Washington, D.C.; WTVJ, Miami; CNN; and ABC News. She currently writes a monthly column for Glamour magazine featuring interviews with female role models, and hosts the weekly webcast @KatieCouric featuring interviews with top newsmakers.
