Going There
by Katie Couric
My husband and I recently binge-watched The Morning Show, making Katie Couric's memoir the perfect companion read to my latest obsession. In Going There Couric recalls highlights from her impressive career in journalism. She shares thoughts on changes that she has seen in the world during her multi-decade career.
Couric is about twenty years older than me, and I've always remembered her face on television, in particular, sitting next to Matt Lauer on The Today Show. Couric does address Lauer's scandal, but puts the situation into the larger context of the #metoo movement, and her struggles as a woman in the news industry. Couric keeps it classy and honest.
One of the Couric's big television moments was inspired by the loss of her first husband to colon cancer. In efforts to raise awareness, Couric underwent a colonoscopy live on air. This dramatic television moment not only brought awareness, but the United States saw a huge upswing in colonoscopy appointments. Couric's struggles as a single mom, career woman, and middle-aged single looking to date again, render her relatable to readers.
I was surprised by Couric's keen sense of humor and daring personality. She is also quick to reveal her imperfections and challenges. Going There is an inspiring memoir and a worthy read.
