About

Donata Lockett is a journalist and ’13 candidate for a Master of the Arts in Magazine, Newspaper & Online Journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In May 2012, Donata earned a B.S. in Communications and English from Syracuse University. While working toward her Master’s, Donata welcomes any opportunities for freelance writing and editing.

Fluent in the languages of music, film, television and all things entertainment, Donata considers herself a pop culture aficionado. Equipped with a wide range of interests, Donata’s strength as a journalist is her versatility. She can easily transition from an album review to a political enterprise piece to an Op-Ed on sports.

Donata aspires to work in the media both during and following graduate school at a globally read but U.S.-based publication. Her ultimate goal is to cover international social, cultural and political issues as a foreign correspondent for a print publication. As a journalist, she hopes to become an advocate for truth and literacy through her gift of storytelling.
