Should Couric Remain on The CBS Evening News?

A recent article on "The Daily Beast" asks a question that has been asked a million times. Should Katie Couric resign with CBS News? Sunday marks Ms. Couric's 4th anniversary as anchor and managing editor of the "Tiffany" networks signature newscast, The CBS Evening News. In the last weeks Evening News has had it's lowest ratings since Nielsen has been keeping track. Couric and the newscast she leads have been winning prestigious awards while remaining in last place. Add all that to Ms. Couric's reported $15 million a year contract, CBS wont resign her without a drastic reduction in compensation.

It seems that if Katie decides to walk away from CBS News, she'll have multiple options. A return to NBC News? Maybe to CNN or into syndication? What do you think? Should Katie stay or should she go? If Couric leaves, who's the best option for a successor.
