2018: Meeting A CBS '60 Minutes' Journalist

Laura Logan

Among the world's best international correspondents, Lara Logan's CBS News reports include the operation to take back Mosul from ISIS, a story on little-known victims of the Holocaust of WWII, and the front lines of the Ebola crisis in central Africa. In 2011, Logan was almost killed in Egypt during the revolution there. She was sexually assaulted and beaten by a mob of some 300 men while reporting a story for 60 Minutes on the Egyptian Revolution.  Click the link above for the incident story.
