Press release from University City Public Library Book Challenge: January 15, 2022 Going There by Katie Couric (2021) 510 pages She covers her time at several networks, including her 15 years on NBC's Today Show. One memorable event during this time was her decision to be filmed getting a colonoscopy in 2000, part of her efforts to encourage people to get screened for colon cancer, which had killed her first husband at age 42. Even more interesting to me were her experiences navigating a news world dominated by men and her feelings about the various networks, including which networks and programs were best to work for and which were more unwelcoming. With the "MeToo" movement gaining traction, she has her views on that, as well. Good book. This press release was produced by University City Public Library Book Challenge.
