What has happened to Ann Curry?

The experienced journalist, who turns 67 on November 19, has kept a low profile since being thrown out of her job at Today in 2012 and then NBC News in 2015.

Curry continues to work in journalism, despite the fact that her name no longer appears in headlines.

Curry, the eldest of five children, was born in Guam to Hiroe Nagase and Robert Paul “Bob” Curry. She spent several years as a youngster in Japan before moving with her family to Oregon, where she attended high school and eventually graduated from college.

She started her broadcasting career in 1978 as an intern at KTVL, an NBC affiliate in Oregon. Her impressive performance as an intern led to her promotion to become the station’s first female newscaster.

Two years into her career, she relocated to KGW in Portland, where she served as an anchor and reporter. She eventually relocated to Los Angeles and worked as a reporter for a CBS affiliate for six years.

During that period, she received two Emmy awards for her work.

Curry’s career began in 1990 with NBC News.

She began as an NBC News Chicago correspondent before becoming an anchor for the now-defunct show NBC News at Sunrise. During her five-year tenure as a morning program anchor, she also covered for Today’s Matt Lauer.

In 1997, she received the position of Today’s news anchor, which she held until 2011.

In addition to reading the news on Today, Curry was chosen as co-anchor of Dateline NBC in 2005 and served as the primary replacement on NBC Nightly News from 2005 until 2011.

Curry lost her job in June 2012, despite her praises and coverage of hard news events.

Her departure was public and painful, and no one ever understood why she left today.

While she no longer sat next to Matt Lauer, she stayed with NBC News until January 2015.

Curry slowed down after a 25-year career with NBC News, but her work left an indelible mark.

She established a multi-platform media firm, reported and produced the PBS series We’ll Meet Again, delivered a TED Talk on rebuilding faith in journalism, and presented TNT’s Chasing the Cure.

Curry was honored in 2022 with the Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award by Washington State University’s Edward R. Murrow College of Communication. The institution honored her work “on human suffering in war zones and natural disasters through her work as an American journalist, photojournalist, and reporter.”

Curry recently interviewed Min Jin Lee, the author of “Pachinko,” for PBS Arts Talk.

Curry had kept her social media posts to a minimum, but she resurfaced to share a wintry snapshot after a year-and-a-half hiatus.

“Good morning, world. Stay safe and comfy. She wrote, “The woods are lovely, dark, and deep…” before departing again.
