After reading about how Katie Couric could become the $20
million woman, Ellen
Gray has a suggestion:
| “If she’s serious about this getting serious thing, maybe it’s time to take those CBS negotiations in a different direction. Even consider a small pay cut. Instead of demanding respect in the form of money, she could trade away a few million for control – and win real respect. As they might say on those credit-card commercials: “Reading the news a half-hour a night: $8 million. “Contributing to ’60 Minutes’: $5 million. “Never having to interview another runaway bride or ‘reality’ show castoff: Priceless.” |
