After weeks of widespread speculation about her future, Katie Couric is finally ready to go on the record.
"I have decided to step down from the CBS Evening News," Couric tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I'm really proud of the talented team on the CBS Evening News and the award-winning work we've been able to do in the past five years in addition to the reporting I've done for 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning. In making the decision to move on, I know the Evening News will be in great hands, but I am excited about the future."
What's next for the 32-year broadcast veteran? "I am looking at a format that will allow me to engage in more multi-dimensional storytelling," she says, adding that other details, including when and where the show will air, are "still being discussed."
As she launches the next phase of her career and her new book, The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives, she is also juggling exclusive interviews with astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, as well as British Prime Minister David Cameron – and she's covering the royal wedding.
"The bottom line is that I love doing all kinds of different stories," says Couric, 54. "I have a lot of areas of interest and I want to be able to fulfill all of that."

“multi-dimensional storytelling,”
Isn’t that the way she already reports “news”?
“Or was she constipated?”
Well put. I was going to say something about that 2nd picture myself but found it too vulgar. Your description was much classier than what I was going to say.
That’s a good one!
Please leave our country while you’re at it biotch!
You know, with proper full-time supervision, she might, just might make an adequate sock puppet.
Wasn’t her highest rated show the first week when she had on Rush Limbaugh?

A couple of prunes will resolve that issue.
“Multi-dimensional storytelling? What does that even mean?
Multi-dimensional liberal storytelling, I bet.”
LOL ,a Lie told enough times.

News? Is that what CBS calls that time slot?
I thought that time period was set aside for their DNC contribution.

Well, I guess her family will care. But her audience is so small, she’ll probably be gone for several years before and sizable group of people knows she left the network news. And I use the word “news” guardedly.
Poor kid. It sure isn’t easy being self-indulgent, self-centered and snobbish. It’s a helluva burden.

Great, she can play the thinner Orca.
Dear Katie,
Thank you for hurting the bottom line of CBS.
Hate to see her go, but will enjoy watching her leave.
I'm thinking CNN or MSNBC would be the ideal venue for her storytelling without being limited by the need to be truthful or report actual news.
We really care Katie...
...”multi-dimensional storytelling”... Is this a confession?
