Going There
by Katie Couric
Katie Couric, an American Television Journalist is seemingly unaware of how she comes across in this tepid memoir. A few pages in, and Couric writes of Helen Thomas; "I spotted legendary Helen Thomas in the front row looking like a harried housewife in a sea of men." It's this depiction of Helen Thomas, who was a legend as the 1st female member of the White House Press Corps that sets the tone of this memoir. This was only the beginning of how Couric views women of power, women who are not her.
Her description of Jane Pauley fares even worse as she writes, "I even loved her assorted hairstyles, including the ponytail that draped over her that looked like a squirrel's tale."
Conversely, she is sympathetic in the descriptions of her male coworkers. Of Matt Lauer she writes that he could charm the pants off of people. It's this level of nescience or unawareness that is most appalling. IF Katie Couric were more aware, perhaps she might not consistently blame others for her lack of continued professional success.
