At iGuide, she led critically acclaimed coverage of the Pope's U.S. visit with a staff of young, untested digital journalists. She also headed a team that designed and produced a web site and television Internet strategy in only ten days for Fox News Sunday, a public affairs show. And she helped Fox News Channel, Rupert Murdoch's new 24-hour cable news network, explore joint ventures for its web site.

At Newsday Direct, Catherine worked with the newsrooms as well as the online staff. That meant convincing editors, reporters, and columnists to add Newsday Direct to their already full work days without extra pay or other tangible rewards. Editors included Woodard in the early stages of planning for projects. She also enticed the best reporters and star columnists such as Mike Lupica, Jim Dwyer, Jimmy Breslin and Liz Smith to come online.
