An introduction to the new sports editor

I AM so delighted to introduce myself. My name is Bella Katz and I am the new sports editor of the Morning Star — I can’t believe I’m saying this! You may have noticed me covering the Fighting Fund for Keith occasionally, or reporting for Kadeem on the sports pages. 

Speaking of which, I’d like to thank Kadeem for all of his support and advice since I joined the paper. I wouldn’t be in this position without him, or without his encouragement to go out and report. I hope to build on all of the fantastic work he did.

This is a dream job in the sense that it combines my passion for the paper and its values with my great love of sport, which began when my Dad would take me to see Spurs reserves play in Stevenage in the early 2000s.
