Lara Logan on being a great journalist

Published: June 22, 2022, 9:03 a.m.

Lara Logan is a journalist and war correspondent.\nBesides being one of the greatest journalists of our time, what makes Lara even more special is that, like me, she is South African. Which, of course, gives me the privilege to laugh at her funny accent.\nHer r\xe9sum\xe9 is impressive, from CBS, to 60 Minutes, to FOX; and her decades of war reporting \u2013 including Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Libya \u2013 have been both brilliant and brutal. For example, Lara was attacked by a mob, and beaten, and gang-raped, while covering the 2011 revolution in Egypt.\nIn our conversation, she chatted about missing being in South Africa;\xa0Trump understanding the working class; the essence of journalism; navigating the fog of war; fake news, narratives, and facts; being gang-raped and the will to survive; and the dangers of the post-Covid world.\nPLEASE SUPPORT MY WORK.
