The CBS Evening News With Katie Couric, as the front of every NYC Transit bus is hell-bent on reminding me. I haven't regularly watched network evening news in ages, and I think the last time I TiVo'ed the evening news was for Brokaw and Rather's respective farewells. Several questions for discussion--in a world of the Internet and 24-hour cable news, is a network evening news broadcast still relevant? Will you watch Couric? Is Couric relevant? Does Couric as a solo anchor have any larger meaning (e.g., the ultimate triumph of feminism, or, in contrast, the triumph of fluff over substance)?
