Katie Couric: Grandmother, Advocate, and Media Mogul Making Waves

Katie Couric BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This past week was a lively one for Katie Couric with a mix of heartwarming family updates, high-profile advocacy, media appearances, and steady engagement with her growing audience. On August 10, People magazine highlighted Couric’s new role as a grandmother, sharing that her only rule as “Gogo” is to avoid giving her daughter Ellie any unsolicited parenting advice. Couric, now 68, became a grandmother in March 2024, and her remarks, which first appeared in Parade, gave fans a personal glimpse into her family life, including her sense of delight in this new chapter and her choice of grandmother name, which she said matches her on-the-go lifestyle.

On the advocacy front, Couric has been using her social presence and platform to rally support for cancer research, especially in the lead-up to the highly anticipated Stand Up To Cancer televised fundraiser airing August 15 across all major networks. Speaking to People at the August 9 SU2C red carpet event in Nashville, she explained the city’s significance as a healthcare hub and expressed gratitude towards the musical artists lending their star power to the cause, underscoring her deep connection to cancer awareness following her husband Jay Monahan’s untimely death in 1998. Instagram posts from her personal and media accounts have amplified this message, encouraging viewers to tune in and provide support.

Couric’s business activities remain robust, with her media company, Katie Couric Media, actively promoting purpose-driven content and spotlighting new brand launches for August on katiecouric.com, from beauty products to tech and lifestyle collaborations—a signal that her company continues to play in the branded content and editorial innovation space.

For direct fan engagement, Katie has kept her community posted about her weekly live conversations on Substack, maintaining a strong presence on both Instagram and YouTube, where KATIE COURIC LIVE continues to feature timely discussions with notable guests. Mention of her name in recent sponsored reels and throwback clips—like a TODAY Show flashback with Lindsay Lohan—keeps her relevant in both nostalgic and current conversations online.

No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced during this period, and coverage of Couric’s activities leans positive, with most stories centering on her growing role as a media entrepreneur, advocate, family matriarch, and master of connecting with audiences across platforms. Biographically, her advocacy for cancer research and her honest, often humorous reflections on family life are the moments likely to resonate in the long run.
