Katie Couric on Facing Sexism in Network TV

For using her voice to begin and amplify important discussions about a spectrum of issues that touch American lives, Katie Couric is the 2019 recipient of the John P. McGovern Award presented by Smithsonian Associates.

The award presentation on November 12, 2019 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History highlighted an evening in which Couric spoke with April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and CNN political analyst, about her career and the causes she supports.

The award, established by an endowment to the Smithsonian by noted physician, educator, author, and philanthropist John P. McGovern, provides a platform to address issues of national and global importance that bridge the sciences and humanities.

She has made millions of dollars, and yet she is a victim. Interesting how that works.
