Journalist Katie Couric, aged 69, announced her book club, KCBC, on January 1, 2026, fulfilling a New Year's resolution to read more. The initiative has led her to rediscover a love for reading, particularly fiction, which offers an escape from daily news and technology. Couric has observed a broader societal trend where individuals, especially younger generations, are increasingly turning to physical books. She believes this resurgence in reading provides a much-needed sense of connection and community.
Couric participated as a spotlight model in the Runway for Recovery event on April 30, 2026, in New York City. The event supports women and their families affected by metastatic breast cancer. This initiative highlights her commitment to charitable causes beyond her media endeavors.
