On February 20, 2012 Myram Borders spoke at the Las Vegas Media Group luncheon, sharing stories about her years as a news correspondent for United Press International and as chief of the Las Vegas News Bureau. Myram moved to Las Vegas from Kentucky when she was just four years old. She is a Las Vegas High School alumni and you can read more about her and her many accomplishments at Las Vegas High School Alumni Association under Notable Alumni.
It was great to her Myram share some great stories of her “beat” years. . She reminded us all of the “good old” days when reporters had to “try and find a phone” in order to be the first to call in a great news story. Her career experiences are many and include some of the most important news stories documented in Las Vegas. The group had numerous questions for her and she generously answered all of them. An interesting fact is that Myram was instrumental in getting the Open Meeting Law passed in Nevada.
