Tributes have been paid to a 'greatly missed' Nottinghamshire journalist and 'truly wonderful' person. Katrina Taylor, who was a reporter for the Chad newspaper, died on Saturday, July 1.
Katrina was diagnosed with a brain tumour in early 2022, at around the time she was offered a permanent contract at the Mansfield and Ashfield-based paper. Despite her long illness, her editor Jon Ball explained she remained a valued part of our team, with the pair entering discussions about her potential phased, part-time return to work a few months ago.
Unfortunately, her condition then deteriorated. "Katrina is greatly missed as a journalist, even more so as a truly wonderful person," Jon said.
