Lara Logan returns to CBS' '60 Minutes'
By Brian Stelter, CNN
Exactly a month ago, there were a flurry of questions about whether Lara Logan would ever return to the acclaimed CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes." On Wednesday, CBS answered matter-of-factly: yes.
"Lara Logan has returned to work," a CBS News spokeswoman said in response to reporter inquiries.
Logan had been on leave since last November, when her "60 Minutes" report about the 2012 consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya was widely discredited and essentially retracted. So had her producer Max McClellan. CBS did not comment on McClellan's status on Wednesday, but he is expected to return to the newsmagazine, too.
"60 Minutes" is on a summer hiatus, but Logan is expected to appear on other CBS newscasts in the meantime.
Gender makeup of Clinton's interviewers. Coincidence?
By Brian Stelter, CNN
As Hillary Clinton prepares for the publication of her book "Hard Choices," here's who will be interviewing her on television:
• Diane Sawyer, ABC News
• Robin Roberts, ABC News
• Cynthia McFadden, NBC News
• Jane Pauley, CBS News
• Christiane Amanpour, CNN
• Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren, Fox News
People magazine published an interview with Clinton on Wednesday, conducted by its Washington bureau chief, Sandra Sobieraj Westfall.
Is it a conscious choice on the part of Clinton's handlers that virtually all of the interviewers are women? Or is it a coincidence?
