In making the announcement, Finley said, “As we continue to
expand FOX Nation, this series is the exact kind of compelling
content we want to deliver to our subscribers and super fans.”
Logan added, “This series is what American people tell me they
want everywhere I go —honest, independent journalism that will not
bow to propagandists and political operatives who use the media as
a weapon to silence, punish and bully. I am so proud to be part of
this team.”
Renowned for her coverage of war zones and major clashes
throughout the Middle East, Logan previously served as a reporter
for CBS News’ 60 Minutes and was chief foreign correspondent and
later chief foreign affairs correspondent for their news division
until 2018. She began working as a full-time correspondent for CBS

Afghanistan and Iraq, among numerous other regions of conflict
throughout the world, including Mogadishu, Somalia and Tahrir
Square in Cairo during the fall of Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak’s government. While reporting on the revolution there, she
was brutally sexually assaulted by a mob of protestors and
subsequently spoke out about the sustained trauma she suffered.
In addition to her extensive work for 60 Minutes, Logan’s
reporting was regularly showcased on CBS Sunday Morning, CBS
Evening News, Face the Nation and CBS This Morning. A recipient of
multiple Emmys, Logan’s work at CBS News was also recognized with
several preeminent journalism honors, including: the Alfred I.
duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton Award, the Edward R. Murrow
Award, the Overseas Press Club Award, and two Gracie Awards.
Earlier in her career, she helmed roles as a freelance producer
and reporter across multiple news outlets including CBS Radio, GMTV
Breakfast Television in the UK, ABC News in London, NBC News, the
