Xana Antunes (born Susana Maria Douglas Ramage Antunes 17 May 1964 – 27 January 2020)[2][3] was a British business journalist who was also the executive editor of Quartz.[4][5] Before joining Quartz, Antunes served as editor of Crain's New York Business[6] and editor-in-chief of the New York Post.[7] 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.[8] Earlier in her career she had reporting stints at The Independent and The Evening Standard.[2]
Antunes moved to New York from the United Kingdom in 1993 to work as a foreign correspondent.[6] She joined the New York Post as a deputy business editor in 1995, working under David Yelland.[9][2] She was appointed editor of the paper in October 1999, before stepping down and being replaced by Col Allan in April 2001.[9] Her resignation was apparently under pressure from Rupert Murdoch.[7]
She was married to Scott Schell and had one daughter, Elisabeth. She was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Newswomen's Club of New York.[3] Antunes died of pancreatic cancer in early 2020.[1]
