Katy Tur is the daughter of Robert Tur, an Emmy Award-winning journalist. That must help with a few connections. But that can’t be all that’s needed to be a news anchor.
Wait there’s more. Katy Tur is dating Keith Olbermann, 49. Keith Olbermann is the anchor host of the MSNBC Countdown.
Maybe that’s the connection. Did he help get Katy Tur the news anchor job?
One wonders about her qualifications. A news anchor role is not an easy job to procure and requires a lot of training and experience, although you might wonder sometimes on the local feed stations how much expertise you need.
Katy Tur has been quoted that she didn’t go to journalism school and she’s simply been referred to as a "freelance cable producer" in New York and LA.
HuffingtonPost.com said Katy Tur is not joining the CW as an anchor but will be acting as a freelance reporter. "She [Katy Tur] got the job on her own merit." CW11 spokesperson Jessica Bellucci was quoted as reporting.
