NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS News has extended the contract of one of its stars, Lara Logan, who will now be based in Washington, D.C.

The South African native will become the network's chief foreign affairs correspondent, a tweak from her previous title of chief foreign correspondent. She'll continue as a "60 Minutes" correspondent.

Well known for her coverage of the war in Iraq and elsewhere around the world, Logan joined CBS News in 2002. She has been a correspondent for the U.K.'s ITV, a freelancer for CBS News and ABC News in London and CNN. She was a senior producer for Reuters Television in Africa and began her career as a reporter for the Daily News and Sunday Tribune in her South African hometown of Durban.
