Those who feel that covering wars
is a man's job, apparently don't know about Laura Logan, chief foreign
correspondent for CBS News.
For more than a decade Logan has put most men to shame with her gutsy pursuit of stories. She has broken many stories, including the abuse of Iraqi orphans in June 2007, a report that made headlines around the world.
Logan, got her start in journalism in high school. She was born in Durban, South Africa and graduated from the city’s University of Natal in 1992 with a degree in Commerce. She also holds a diploma in French language, and culture and history from the Universite de L'Alliance Francaise in Paris. In addition to French, Logan speaks Afrikaans and Portuguese.
Among the awards Logan has won are:
an Emmy in Sept. 2007 for her Iraq war report, "Ramadi: On the Front
Line," and four American Women in Radio and
Television Gracie Awards. In addition to regularly being seen doing
reports in the thick of battlefields, Logan was even a guest on "The
Tonight Show" with Jay Leno on Oct. 15, 2007 -- a show not known for
serious discussions on current events.
