MCRC 2024 Lincoln Day Events

Lara Logan’s candid  reporting, often from the most dangerous places in the world, has earned her a prominent place among the world’s best foreign correspondents.

In her role at 60 Minutes, Logan helped us understand the political and human conflicts around the world, including Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and Palestine, and Egypt.

Committed to the story, she lived in Iraq for five years at the height of the violence. She was one of the few journalists in Baghdad when the U.S. Military entered the city, reporting live in the square as the statue of Sadam fell. Logan has earned almost every journalistic and reporting award, among them are the highly prestigious duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton, the Overseas Press Club, the Emmys and the RTNDA/ Edward R. Murrow Award – to name a few.

Her fearless determination to get the story from its vortex, no matter how dangerous, has often put Logan herself in great danger. In Tahrir Square in Egypt, she came close to death when she was sexually assaulted by a mob while reporting for 60 Minutes on the Arab Spring.

A journalist who heads straight into hostile places not for spectacle, but for the sake of our understanding the real issues of our time, Logan is an insightful interpreter of international current events and a fearless interviewer asking tough questions of today’s most powerful people.

Today she has a successful long-form, investigative TV series that takes on significant topics with an open mind and an open heart – the way journalism is supposed to be done. It’s called “Lara Logan Has No Agenda” and is broadcast on Fox Nation. The series has taken her deep into subjects like immigration and the south west border, socialism, media, veterans and so on.

You will often see Lara on various news programs and prime time Fox shows where she is a sought-after voice to comment on topics ranging from national security to terrorism, journalism, foreign affairs and so on.

Other special guest speakers will include U.S. Senate Candidate Kari Lake and Congressman Eli Crane, CD8 Candidate Abe Hamadeh, and CD4 Candidate Kelly Cooper.
