Lara Logan: “Absolutely Fearless”

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan is one of the LAT’s 2006 Faces to Watch.

“Based in London, the 34-year-old South Africa native’s dispatches from Afghanistan and Iraq have grabbed the attention of network officials, who plan to showcase her prominently when a new version of the evening newscast is launched next year.”

Anchor Bob Schieffer says: “I think she’s the next Barbara Walters. She’s the complete package. She’s absolutely fearless. She loves news, and she will go anywhere to get it…The one problem we have with her is sometimes she’s too fearless.”
