One of the most common household names for me growing up was Katie Couric. She is truly inspirational especially because she seems to have done it all in the world of broadcast journalism from The Today Show Anchor to ABC News Special Correspondent. Also knowing what she's been through with the loss of her husband and sister to cancer in addition to losing her father to his struggle with Parkinson's Disease makes her even more of a role model journalist in my eyes. I thought it was so cool that she broadcasted her colonoscopy and her mammogram live! It was eye opening to know that those two broadcasts inspired others to take those medical exams as well and it was later dubbed, "The Couric Effect". Katie Couric is not just the average journalist because she is one of the rare ones who has touched lives and made a difference.
