We got to wondering when correspondent Lara Logan would be back at “60 Minutes” when we read an item in the (Greensboro, N.C.) News & Record reporting that Lesley Stahl would replace Logan at Guilford College’s Bryan Series lecture on April 8.
Logan was suspended in November along with producer Max McClellan after an internal report called her Oct. 27 story on Benghazi “deficient in several respects.”
Politico’s Dylan Byers reported in December that Logan and McClellan were set to be back on the program “early next year,” although CBS had not scheduled a return date.
News that Bill Whitaker will be joining “60 Minutes” also fueled speculation on our part that he could be Logan’s replacement.
Kevin Tedesco, CBS News/60 Minutes communications executive director, cut that short in an email to Poynter:
Lara is still on a leave of absence and Bill Whitaker’s appointment has nothing to do with her.
