Xana Antunes

Xana Antunes (May 17, 1964 – January 27, 2020)[1][2] was a British business journalist who was also the executive editor of Quartz.[3][4] Before joining Quartz, Antunes served as editor of Crain's New York Business[5] and editor-in-chief of the New York Post.[6] She was born Susana Maria Douglas Ramage and later changed her name to accommodate a nickname.

Antunes studied at Trinity & All Saints College (now Leeds Trinity University) in Leeds, West Yorkshire.[7] Earlier in her career she had reporting stints at The Independent and The Evening Standard.[1]

Antunes moved to New York from the United Kingdom in 1993 to work as a foreign correspondent.[5] She joined the New York Post as a deputy business editor in 1995, working under David Yelland.[8][1] She was appointed editor of the paper in October 1999, before stepping down and being replaced by Col Allan in April 2001.[8] Her resignation was apparently under pressure from Rupert Murdoch.[6]

She was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Newswomen's Club of New York.[2]

She was married to Scott Schell and had one daughter, Elisabeth.

Antunes died of pancreatic cancer in early 2020.[9]
