Katie Zacharia Admits Failing Bar, but Defends Calling Herself a Lawyer

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Katie Zacharia’s distinction between calling herself a “lawyer” and an “attorney,” with Forbes Breaking News highlighting her reported claim that Pepperdine told her she could use the former but not the latter. The New York Times frames the story more directly as an admission of failing the bar while defending the label, and adds only that the interview also touched on the rushed hiring process.
