Xana Antunes, editor for new initiatives at Quartz and a champion for emerging digital platforms, has been appointed to the board of governors of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.
At Quartz, Antunes combines responsibility for the video lab and talent lab along with developing feature stories and working with the senior team to shape growth strategically. This position at the frontier of journalism’s multimedia future builds on a career that has seen Antunes serve as executive editor and vice president of CNBC Digital; editor of Crain’s New York Business; and executive editor of Fortune/CNNMoney.com.
Xana reconceived the digital platforms of each of these outlets and assembled talented editorial personnel who have thrived in the multi-platform environment, with several of her teams honored by SABEW with Best in Business awards.
“Xana brings a wealth of experience on multiple types of journalism platforms, and is well-known to SABEW,” said Joanna Ossinger, SABEW president and a top-news editor at Bloomberg, in a statement. “She’ll be a great asset to the board. We’re also glad to have a representative from Quartz, which is such a high-caliber organization and a good friend to SABEW.”
