Biography
Catherine Walters, publisher of Orlando magazine, is a visionary leader whose contributions to both the media industry and her local community have set her apart as a dynamic force in Central Florida. Starting her career with Morris Communications in 2017, Walters has since overseen Orlando magazine, a publication that has proudly served the community for over 80 years. Under her leadership, Orlando magazine has reinvested heavily in the region, with a continued focus on keeping local news free and accessible to all. This effort is especially notable as the industry shifts toward a paywall-centric model—Walters’ dedication to ensuring open access to important stories has made a lasting impact on how the community engages with the magazine. A prolific writer, Walters has penned more than 500 original stories for Orlando magazine, many of which provide a personal glimpse into her own experiences in Central Florida. Her intimate connection to the region is deeply rooted; a Central Florida native and a graduate of Rollins College, Walters is well-versed in both traditional and digital brand development, account management, and delivering data-driven results. Over the years, she has collaborated with a variety of well-respected local and global organizations, from Massey Services and the Orlando Science Center to internationally recognized brands like Aveeno, Neutrogena, Banana Boat, and Hawaiian Tropic, where her expertise in the FDMx category has shone. Beyond her professional achievements, Walters is also an active and committed volunteer, both in her field and her community. As the elected President of the Florida Magazine Association, she has played a pivotal role in advocating for the magazine industry, all while supporting local charities through ad and digital donations, as well as hands-on volunteer work. Under her leadership, Orlando magazine donates nearly $100,000 in services annually to support local nonprofits, further solidifying the magazine's commitment to the community. Her personal contributions are equally impressive. With over 27 years of volunteer service in Central Florida, Walters’ journey began at the Orlando Science Center in the late 1990s, where she amassed over 3,000 volunteer hours. More recently, she has volunteered her time with A Gift For Teaching, Second Harvest Food Bank, and Harbor House, among others, ensuring that her positive impact is felt throughout the region. As a Rollins College graduate, Summa Cum Laude in 2005, Walters was recognized for her positive contributions to the community, a trend she has continued throughout her career. In 2024, Walters was instrumental in securing Orlando magazine's recognition as a Rollins Scholar and played a key role in establishing a permanent archive of the magazine’s issues at the Orange County Regional History Center. Her leadership also earned Orlando magazine the prestigious Public Service Award for their Black History Issue from the Florida Press Association in 2024—a testament to her dedication to inclusivity and the power of storytelling in fostering social change. Catherine Walters is more than a publisher—she is a champion of her community, a trailblazer in media, and a tireless advocate for causes close to her heart. Her leadership, philanthropy, and unwavering commitment to Central Florida make her an exceptional candidate for any project or initiative.
