Gina DiVittorio

Gina L. DiVittorio (born 18 July 1995) is an American writer, comedian, and political commentator. She is best known for The Pocket Report, a satirical news web series focused on American politics and society that she writes, performs, and edits, and a viral video about the dating app Hinge.

DiVittorio created The Pocket Report in March 2020 as a way to entertain her interests in public policy and comedy productively during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with The Marquette Wire she explained that she wants the web series to bridge the gap between the younger generation and late-night television, providing humorous but genuine political analysis. "I try to always look at underlying policies, how something is being funded and the historical significance behind it."

As the creator of The Pocket Report, DiVittorio was one of 30 prominent TikTok content creators briefed by the White House on 11 March 2022 in a one-hour Zoom call about the United States’ strategic goals regarding the war in Ukraine, distributing aid to Ukrainians, working with NATO, and how the United States would react if Russia used nuclear weapons. The briefing was organized in collaboration with the non-profit advocacy group Gen-Z for Change, and was reportedly part of the White House's strategy to stop the spread of misinformation about the war through social media.

DiVittorio has more followers on TikTok than on any other social media platform, but first attracted significant attention on Twitter, which she has described as her go-to platform because posts can include videos, static images, or text on its own. Her 2019 tweet "Do rich people know climate change will end their ski trips? Have we emphasized that angle?" is cited as an exemplar of sarcasm in a 2022 academic journal article titled "Twitter Users’ Displays of Affect in the Global Warming Debate".
