When you think of a fast, smart and confident journalist, then think of Katty Kay. She is a top English journalist and the anchor of BBC World News America. She began her journalism career in 1990 as a BBC correspondent for World Service radio in Zimbabwe.
The incredible journalist has covered the race between former President Obama and Hillary Clinton, as well as Obama and McCain. Her brilliant and excellent performances have brought her into the limelight and she is a viable asset to American journalism.
Katherine Kay was born in Wallingford, Berkshire, England on November 14, 1964 and was raised in Blewbury by a British diplomat father while her mother was a journalist. She spent most of her childhood traveling to countries in the Middle East where her father was posted as a diplomat. Katty is a graduate of Oxford University where she studied Modern Languages and is fluent in French and Italian.
After graduating, Katty Kay worked briefly as a banker at the Bank of England before moving to Zimbabwe where she worked for a humanitarian aid agency. While at the agency, she met a friend, Matt Frei, who encouraged her to pursue a career in journalism. Later, in 1990, she started working as a BBC correspondent for World Service radio in Zimbabwe and two years later returned to London before being posted to Tokyo for BBC television. In 1996 she was posted to Washington DC and in 2002 she became a freelance journalist at the BBC. As a freelancer, Katty has also worked as a reporter for the Times Bureau.
However, Kay co-hosted BBC World Bulletins alongside Mike Embley from June 2004 the show aired on over 230 broadcast stations in the United States including BBC America. In 2007, the brilliant journalist became Matt Frei’s correspondent for the program called BBC World News America.
She is currently the host of BBC World News America and appears regularly on other shows, including Meet the Press on NBC, Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, and the Chris Matthews Show titled Morning Joe. Additionally, Katty has appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live and also represents Diane Rehm on the NPR show called The Diane Rehm Show.
In addition to journalism, Katty is also a prolific writer and has written some interesting books on women’s empowerment with Claire Shipman. Their books include The Confidence Code: Science and Art of Self-Confidence and Womenomics which was published in 2009.
The magnificent journalist has been exceptional since the beginning of her career as a journalist. She amassed enormous wealth for herself. However, his net worth is still under consideration so cannot be established at this time.
The salaries of BBC presenters range between $24,000 to $70,000 and the top reporter would receive quite a substantial sum along with bonuses. Besides journalism, she also earns from her books and other pursuits.
The amazing TV presenter is married and a proud mother of four three daughters named Jade Carver, Maya Carver, Poppy Carver and a son, Felix Carver. She is the wife of Tom Carver, a former BBC reporter, as well as a writer who currently serves as vice-chairman of the Control Risks group.
Kay and her husband have always kept details of their relationships and personal lives away from the media, including those of their children. They like to find a balance between their professional life and their private life. The couple have been married since 1989 although they have not announced their marriage. They have been together for over twenty-nine years.
Besides, the wonderful couple have led a happily married life and see no signs of divorce anytime soon.
Back in 2012, it was alleged that Katty had undergone plastic surgery to improve her youthful looks. His images have been seen all over the internet. Some claimed the incredible anchor could have used Botox or Dysport around the eyes and eyebrows, as well as injections of hyaluronic acid filler in the creases of the nose and mouth. Despite the level of controversy, Katty has never released a statement about it until now.
Apparently Katty Kay chose to keep her personal profile under wraps and I guess she’s doing just fine. She remained silent despite speculation from her fans.
You can connect with Katty through her Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram handles.
