Vittert's coverage of the Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore was praised by Mediaite and The Daily Caller .[11] [12] [13] According to Mediaite , Vittert "made his mark…by standing among protesters, facing a silent line of riot police, while interviewing residents and demonstrators affected by the story in various ways. He [broke] news about the Baltimore mayor's alleged stand-down orders for police, and [had] tense question-and-answer exchanges with lawmakers and public figures throughout the city."[11] [13] [14]
Arriving in the Middle East in 2010, Vittert began following the Arab Spring .[4] In 2011, he was one of the few reporters live on the ground in Cairo's Tahrir Square on the night that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak left power.[4] Vittert subsequently traveled to Libya during the first days of the country's revolution, where he reported on Muammar Gaddafi 's counterattack and later from the besieged city of Misurata .[15] [16]
