Katie Couric May Lose Her $10 million a Year Job At Yahoo News

Katie Couric, former CBS News anchor is "eyeing an exit from Yahoo News" according to Page 6.

Eyeing an exit???

Katie gets paid an astonishing $10 million a year from Yahoo to do...what... exactly?

Now, I know we ALL tune in regularly to see what Katie has to say about whatever it is she has to say something about... whatever that is...  

She recently touted that her obituary for Prince was watched 5 million times.  

Of course, Psy's Gangham Style was watched 1.5 billion times, which means that Yahoo should have paid Psy $3 billion a year.

Maybe he needs Katie's agent?

I can't blame Katie for taking the money. I would. Who wouldn't?

But such a pornographic salary speaks volumes about why Yahoo is in such trouble. For a web site, they have some remarkably old ideas about how content for the world of social media works.

Which reminds me, who is the top paid Facebook contributor and how much does her or she get paid?

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
