NEW YORK (Reuters) - Katie Couric, the first woman in the nation to serve as evening news anchor solo network ended its passage on "cbs Evening News" on Thursday, saying was "an incredible voyage" and "an extraordinary privilege."
The broadcast included interview with Couric with another woman in the history-making, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who became the first former first lady to win elected office when she joined the Senate in 2001.
Couric discusses the speeches of foreign policy of President Obama on developments in the Arab world with Clinton, who also sought the Presidency in 2008.
Clinton also addressed with Israel and the Palestinians and Washington political negotiations to Pakistan following the death of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. military raid.
The show began with a report on accusations of doping against the winner of the Tour of France, Lance Armstrong made by one of his former teammates, Tyler Hamilton.
Other stories reported on an experimental treatment for victims of paralysis, the initial public offer for the professional networking site LinkedIn and the progress of the Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was seriously injured earlier this year, in a mass shooting in Arizona.
Couric has also used his final evening news broadcast, which capped a sometimes troubled term which began in September 2006, to look back on the events and people that she had covered since it assumed the Presidency of CBS anchor.
"It was extraordinary to sit in this Chair privilege," she said, introducing the segment.
He had talks with President Bush, Alex Rodriguez, Clint Eastwood, President of Obama, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and perhaps most memorably, the vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin Republican, which seemed ill-prepared for a large number of questions of Couric.
Clips of segment including also on her reporting on the war in Iraq, forest fires in California, the attempted bombing in Times Square and the last disaster oil spill of summer in the Gulf of the Mexico.
Couric ended the show after editing, thanking viewers "to come along with me on this incredible journey."
"This is the CBS Evening News for tonight." I'm Katie Couric. Good night, "she said."
Couric moved to CBS News after 15 years as co-host of the top-rated morning NBC show, "Today" and to the speaking time of plans to modernize and update the format of network news every night.
Recently, she said that was too ambitious, and it may known more successful to be a traditional broadcast format and introduce changes that gradually.
In the course of the show early days, some observers focused on the style of the Couric and appearance, drawing criticism that male anchors would never have submitted to these details of the surface.
Couric has won several prestigious awards in its relatively brief tenure and scored shots journalistic, but never managed to lift "CBS Evening News" of the third place behind "nbc Nightly News" and "ABC World News".
"60 Minutes" reporter Scott Pelley will succeed Couric, whose contract is until June, on 6 June.
Couric, 54, is supposed to be in talks to develop a talk show.
