Jonalyn Cueto is a contributor for Key Media. Her coverage spans business, finance, pension fund, private markets, M&A activity, retirement, and employee benefits.

Jonalyn has over six years of writing experience and more than a decade in the journalism industry. Her early writing career focused on current events and lifestyle topics, collaborating with various local and international media outlets primarily as a freelancer.

She has also worked as a book editor and technical editor, editing dissertations, essays, and textbooks—experience that sharpened her attention to structure, clarity, and accuracy in complex material.

Her combined newsroom and editorial experience shapes her approach to financial and business journalism.

She holds a bachelor's degree in mass communications, majoring in journalism, and a master's degree in business administration, majoring in marketing management.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“Clarity and precision are important in everything I write. I want my reporting to do more than just present the facts—I want it to keep readers interested from start to finish.

 

"This is especially important when I’m working with complex or data-heavy information. I try to make the main point clear right away, then build on it with supporting details that are easy to follow without losing the important context”
