In 1992 she became a professor at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg , specializing in journalism and communication sciences.

After her retirement in September 2017,[4] she accepted an honorary professorship in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Freie Universität Berlin in 2018 and began teaching at the Institute for Journalism and Communication Sciences.[1]
In 2022 she took part in a panel discussion at the Freie Universität Berlin asking "Can the world still be saved?" with Antje Wilton, the journalist Sara Schurmann, Simon Horst and Carolin Schwegler. In the same year she spoke out against the plans of Roland Weissman of the Austrian state broadcaster to halve the amount of text they have on line to replace it with video. Neverla chairs the broadcaster's advisory board and said this was a mistake as although video was useful it was text that was the core of good jounrnalism and communication.[5]
