Kimberly Dozier returns to CBS newsroom
Steve Safran January 29th, 2007
A warm “welcome back” to CBS News reporter Kimberly Dozier, who visited the New York newsroom today (Video), eight months after a car bomb nearly killed her in Iraq. Her co-workers Paul Douglas and James Brolan died in the May 29, 2006 attack, along with a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi translator. From CBSNews.com:
“It’s overwhelming,” said Dozier, as some 100 colleagues gathered around. “Last May we had Hell open on us. That’s when I found out what this place was really like. People I didn’t know reached out to me, to my family, and also reached out to the families of Paul and James. “Paul and James will always be in my memories … a final salute to them.”
While Dozier hasn’t returned to work just yet, she has been writing. Katie Couric posts her thoughts about Dozier’s return at Couric & Co.

Kim, I recently tried to look you up to see about your progress, but had spelled your name with 2 s’s instead of z. So I was thrilled last week to see you back on the job and reporting again.
I know you’re glad to be back at work, even though some days may be a challenge to you.
You, Lara Logan and all news people are to be commended for the dangerous work you do.
