Makayla pursues media law

Makayla Vermir attends Bellevue East High School in Bellevue, Neb., as a co-editor on her newspaper staff. As she waits patiently in the halls of the convention hotel on Saturday, Nov. 23, she explains why she loves being on newspaper.

“All of us [on my staff] are really good friends and really close,” said Vermir, “It’s really easy to work with everyone.”

Vermir attended the JEA/NSPA fall national convention in Washington D.C. in hopes to learn more about what it takes to succeed in the career path she would like to follow.

“I actually am really interested in media law,” said Vermir, “I actually took the press law and ethics test here so hopefully I pass that.”
