Content Hive is the site of a professor and journalist of 35 years.
Ellen Berkovitch today is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She spent 35 years working as a professional journalist in jobs that ranged from investigative reporter, magazine editor in chief and public radio station news director. Since joining Pratt in 2020, Ellen won a grant to produce a four-part podcast on neuroscience and art. In October of 2023, she was a presenter at the first Oral Storytelling Symposium that Pratt hosted in association with the Columbia (University) Center for Oral History Research. Prior to joining Pratt, she spent one year completing a documentary for Northern California Public Media/NPR One on a tiny Diné village, Red Water Pond Road community, afflicted by more than 40 years of uranium pollution after suffering the largest-ever uranium spill in US history in 1979.
Beginning in 2009, she conceived and launched the first daily online arts magazine for the Rocky Mountain West at Adobeairstream.com. The site is no longer live. Since 2023, Ellen has been deeply involved in mutual aid for NYC’s African immigrant communities in Brooklyn. She lives between Harlem in NYC, and an 1860s farmhouse in Germantown, NY.
