Interviews and profiles
Fred Katz Print and Web Interviews
This archive concerns Fred Katz, the NBA journalist associated with The Athletic, Katz and Shoot, and Under the Bright Lights—not the late jazz cellist and composer who shared his name.
The collection is intended for verified written interviews, question-and-answer features, and profiles published by external outlets. Each listed item will remain on its original publisher’s website.
What this interview archive includes
Qualifying entries include text-based profiles, written question-and-answer features, and web interviews in which Fred Katz is the subject or interviewee. Every entry must have a reliable original source URL and a confirmed publication date.
Journalism written by Katz is kept separately in the Fred Katz writing archive. Television, video, radio, and guest-podcast appearances are organized in the complete archive of verified media appearances.
Dates, classifications, access notices, and links are reviewed before publication. The corrections and update policy explains how inaccurate information and broken links are handled.
Verified written interviews
Entries are arranged in reverse chronological order after the original publisher, publication date, and feature type have been confirmed.
No qualifying records are currently displayed in this collection. No unverified titles, estimated dates, or aggregator-only records have been added.
Written interview records are being verified
Entries will be added after their original publisher pages, dates, and formats are confirmed. This status does not mean that Fred Katz has never participated in a written interview; it means the supplied research does not establish a qualifying record for publication here.
The available research does verify television and video appearances, including two NY1 discussions from 2025. These are listed with the appropriate media format rather than being presented as print interviews.
