Our Newsroom

B-Empire is run by a bilingual editorial team, Franco-American in identity as much as in how it works. Every member of the newsroom writes and edits in both languages the magazine publishes in, with one shared goal: make world news readable, accurate, and free of unnecessary jargon — for readers living between two cultures, if not more.

Santhia Antoine — Editor-in-Chief

Santhia Antoine sets the editorial direction of B-Empire Magazine. She oversees daily coverage of world news, business, and culture, and ensures editorial consistency between the French and English editions. She pays particular attention to the accuracy of the facts presented and to the magazine’s tone: direct, informed, and free of sensationalism. Under her direction, B-Empire favors context over raw headlines.
