It’s been nearly three months since the terrible sexual assault on CBS chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan in Egypt, but thankfully, she’s now strong enough to return back to work. I’d like to embed a YouTube video of her coverage of the death of Osama bin Laden, but CBS News won’t let me, so here’s a link – typically insightful stuff from Logan.
However, last night, she went on to 60 Minutes to explain in detail what happened – for the one and only time. It’s very shocking stuff, but shows how brave she is.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
