Quote_1.png
Katie Couric

Interest

Quote_1.png
Katie Couric
"They see us interacting with people, they see us doing serious interviews, they see us having fun, and when you're conversing with someone, you get a much clearer impression of who that person is than if they are just reading into a news piece."
