Welcome to my Portfolio page! My name is Demi Vitkute, and I am a Boston-based journalist, editor, and, as of recently, an Adjunct Journalism Professor at Emerson College.
I am an alumna of Emerson College and Columbia Journalism School. In 2016, I co-founded The Urban Watch Magazine, an online publication that covers culture, fashion, entrepreneurship, and changemakers. The Urban Watch has had media partnerships with Microsoft Start and She Media (Penske Media Corporation), expanding its reach. I've written for CNN, The Washington Post, Inside Hook, MSN, WGBH News and Promo Magazine among other national and international publications.
A highlight of my career includes winning a grant from Columbia Journalism School’s Brown Institute for Media Innovation in 2020 to kickstart the Fashion Watch Tracker– a tool to record sexual abuse cases in the fashion industry.
One of my strengths is using my entrepreneurial skills to innovatively and seamlessly merge journalism and PR/marketing skills to develop leading brand strategies. In my consulting roles, I’ve propelled many startups from the ground up. If you’re interested in my consulting services, click here to schedule a free initial call.
I'm really passionate about the freedom of the press, the future of journalism, and developing sustainable business models for journalism.
