摘要

When katie couric (finally) announced in early June her plans to launch a syndicated talk show with ABC in fall 2012, with a deal to appear on ABC News in the interim, many at the network were presumably pleased to land such a high-profile talent. But count Joe Ruffolo, ABC News Digital's relatively new senior VP, as one who is especially looking forward to Couric joining the team in August. "She has done tremendous things at CBS News and other places on the digital front. She's proved her interest and her talent for that," Ruffolo says of Couric, who has more than 234,000 Twitter followers.
