MediaPost reports that on March 17, she launched a powerful new campaign with PatientPoint, teaming up with her own Katie Couric Media to promote colorectal cancer screenings via videos playing on 145,000 screens in 30,000 U.S. healthcare waiting rooms. Tapping into her personal tragedy—husband Jay's death from the disease at 42—she urges viewers, "Look around this waiting room. Only two out of three people who should be getting screened actually are. Don't be the one who doesn't." A shorter clip is buzzing on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, timed perfectly for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month through September, with PatientPoint tracking real-world screening boosts. Shifting to geopolitics, Couric hosted a marathon YouTube discussion on March 18 titled "Trump and the War: What You Need To Know," grilling national security reporter Nancy Youssef on U.S. strikes dominating Iranian airspace, economic fallout in the Strait of Hormuz, and postwar uncertainties, amassing 17K views. She followed up March 19 with "Trump and the Economy: Will the War Tank the Markets?" where CNBC vet Ron Insana dissected soaring jet fuel prices doubling airline tickets and a headline-driven market amid Fed watch. Her Substack captured a live March 17 video blending Iran, markets, and security with Youssef and Insana, plus a casual March 15 post shouting out eco-friendly pickleball gear from Line in the Sand—worn in her own commercial—that donates profits to cancer causes. No confirmed public appearances or fresh business deals in the last 24 hours, though her advocacy push carries lasting biographical weight, echoing her trailblazing 2000 live colonoscopy on Today.
