The Takeaway: Will Katie Couric Stay or Go?

N.Y. Times: That Wall Street Journal report saying Katie Couric would leave CBS after the inauguration seems to have been based on a conversation that took place in February between Couric, her agent, and several network executives. In fact, the meeting was inconclusive -- but the Journal's report, and the attending media fracas, may end up speeding Couric's exit.

WaPo: CNN anchor Anderson Cooper ranks high on CBS's wish list of possible replacements. Harry Smith, Scott Pelley and Russ Mitchell are all in-house candidates.

L.A. Times: Couric's departure "is widely considered a foregone conclusion inside CBS News." Speculation notwithstanding, CNN isn't talking to her about becoming Larry King's replacement.

Time: Couric's $15 million-a-year salary made failure inevitable, premised, as it was, on an entirely delusional belief that any anchor could reverse the historical trend of declining evening news ratings.
