CBS
News correspondent Lara Logan, under fire for using a discredited
source for a 60 Minutes story on the Benghazi attack, has
agreed to take a leave of absence, according to an internal memo
obtained by USA TODAY.
The
segment's producer, Max McClellan, also was placed on leave.
"There
is a lot to learn from this mistake for the entire organization,"
Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and executive producer of 60
Minutes, said in an email to CBS employees Tuesday. "As
executive producer, I am responsible for what gets on the air. I
pride myself in catching almost everything, but this deception got
through, and it shouldn't have."
Fager
didn't address how long Logan or McClellan would be away from their
jobs or whether they would be paid.
"The 60
Minutes journalistic review is concluded, and we are
implementing ongoing changes based on its results," said CBS
News spokeswoman Sonya McNair.
