If Couric Moves To 60 Minutes… Who Becomes The New Leader Of CBS News?

Theoretically, of course: Amid all the talk about Katie Couric‘s future, an e-mailer asks: “Let’s work with the assumption that Couric transitions off ‘Evening News’ after the ’08 elections, becoming the CBS News equivalent of Bill Cosby, who came in and helped reshape CBS entertainment’s primetime. Who becomes the news divisions Ray Romano: The sleeper who’s out there on the air now, but emerges as the leader, and helps push the news division to the top, like Romano pushed CBS’s primetime to dominance?

Russ Mitchell? Harry Smith? Scott Pelley? Lara Logan? Tracy Smith? Who will emerge in the next two years as the new leader?”
