Los Angeles Times Katie Couric says the recent positive attention for her work has been gratifying, especially after going through "a hazing period of sorts." She tells
Matea Gold: "I mean, listen, it's nice to be respected for your work, [but] I take it all with probably a shaker of salt." Regarding initial criticism of her anchor work: "I got to a point where I really didn't focus on it because it sort of sucks your spirit dry after a while."
