LARA LOGAN
CBS News correspondent
While the TV news industry chatters about whether NBC's Katie Couric will make the jump to the "CBS Evening News," another female newscaster has been generating her own buzz at CBS: correspondent Lara Logan.
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.
"I think she's the next Barbara Walters," said anchor Bob Schieffer. "She's the complete package. She's absolutely fearless. She loves news, and she will go anywhere to get it."
