Lest anyone attempt to fool you into thinking Katie Couric America's first anchorwoman, know these two words: Victoria Corningstone. No, seriously, several women--including ABC's Barbara Walters and Elizabeth Vargas--have anchored the evening news, albeit with a "co" prefacing the coveted "anchor" title. Though, with ABC co-anchor Bob Woodruff on the mend since his January injuries suffered while covering the war in Iraq, is it fair to continue to refer to Vargas as World News Tonight's "co-anchor"? The point is that women have anchored the network evening news before; that they weren't called the "anchor" doesn't negate this. And since the evening news has diminished in importance, is it as big of a deal in 2006 for a woman to read the news solo as it would have been in 1976? Tim Graham has the 411 on Couric's not-so-historic move to CBS at The Corner.
